| Several Palestinian protesters and an Israeli police officer have been injured during a protest against a Greek Orthodox patriarch near a Christian site in Jerusalem. The police and clergy said about 500 Palestinians approached the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to protest against Patriarch Irineos I, who has been accused in media reports of selling Greek Orthodox Church land in Jerusalem to Jews. Irineos, who denies the allegations, had been conducting Orthodox Good Friday mass inside the church, said Marwan Toubasi, Greek Orthodox Council chairman in the Palestinian territories. |
