OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The executive committee of the Orthodox conference in Palestine on Saturday accused patriarch Theophilus and the Orthodox patriarchate of occupied Jerusalem of contributing to the judaization of the holy city and waiving more Palestinian lands near the monastery of Mar Elias.
The executive committee demanded Theophilus to cancel his deal with Israeli companies and to respect the written commitments he made to the Arab Orthodox community.

The committee explained that as the conflict over the eligibility to seize the Arab Orthodox endowments and property heated up between two Zionist companies called Bara and Talpiot and reached to the courts, many facts were revealed about waiving endowed land near the Mar Elias monastery in Jerusalem.

Former patriarch Irineos had signed a deal on 14/12/2007 with Bara company to give it the right to administrate the patriarchate’s property without any restrictions, while current patriarch Theophilus signed a deal on the land near the mar Elias monastery with Talpiot company.
