Afrasianet - By: Rasem Obeidat - The "tsunami" hit Jerusalem and the Bab al-Khalil area after the decision of the so-called Supreme Court of Justice, considering that the Petra, Imperial and Beit al-Mu'amadiyeh properties of the Arab Orthodox Church in the Old City of Jerusalem, a deal known as the Hebron Gate, is the right of the settlers, specifically the Atarot Kohenim settlement , And this decision came after 14 years of deliberations in the courts of Zionism, and some in the church and those who hired themselves from their highs from the High Commission for the Presidential Affairs of Christian shrines and others, that the sale or leaking of those properties, and discover the Supreme Court of Zionism regardless of our position from Maha How much Zionism, which we are fully aware of as an employee of the Zionist political and security level and settlement associations, and it is illogical not to rule in favor of the settlers, that the sale and leaking of the property of the Orthodox Church in Jerusalem and other Jerusalem.
It is true that the deal was held during the reign of Patriarch Erenius. In the month of 8/2004, Attorney Eitan Jiffa signed as a member of the companies that purchased for the benefit of the settlers and Papatimus, who was appointed by the Patriarchate. Three agreements were signed for 99 years, with an extension of 99 years. The main property of these properties was a rented one for third parties.
After the publication of reports on the deal in Maariv newspaper in March and April 2005. A storm broke out in the Patriarchate, which led to the decision of the Synod on 6.5.2005 to dismiss Patriarch Arenius. On 22 August 2005, Theophilus was elected Patriarch.
It was clear that the parties inside and outside the church were involved in the sale. After Patriarch Theopholius assumed the presidency of the Patriarchate, he pledged that the deal would be revoked and that it was not part of it. There was talk of corruption and bribery in the contract, The court's lawyer, Asaad Mezawi, said that the deal could be revoked due to evidence and information received by the Church about fraud, corruption and bribes in the completion of the transaction, which were concealed by the settlement associations. And real estate companies registered in its name, I think that only comes from the door of venting and relieve the state of tension and spreading false hope in the Palestinian street, after 14 years of deliberations in the courts, where was the evidence and information .. ?? The question is why the church's lawyers gave up the appeal of the decision because of the suspicion of bribery and corruption on the basis of the deal, as well as why they abandoned the claim that they did not have the power to sign the deal, and did not have the authority to sign the deal. Show the court that the company that purchased the property paid 9 times the price purchased.
There are many details that confirm the involvement of the parties inside and outside the church in the sale of the property of the Arab Orthodox Church, the process of opposition to the sale and lease of church assets for very long periods, only took place against what is known as the deal of the door of Hebron, after the big media hype and popular protests and the National Congress Which was held in Bethlehem in October 2017, to protect the property of the Arab Orthodox Church, and its output was to emphasize the Orthodox file and its suspension and the sons of this Arab Orthodox people a national file Palestinian and Jordanian excellence not limited to political borders, Atmron considering this file from the strategic files of the PLO and the national action factions as Jerusalem, and the return of refugees and prisoners, and put this file on the ladder of priorities. The conference also stressed that defending the Arab Orthodox endowment from the river to the sea is a sacred right and does not fall under any political understandings.
It is clear from the deliberations of the court that the objection to the sale of the property of the Arab Orthodox Church only to the properties of the door of Hebron, and thus the Church confirmed the validity of the sales operations against the monastery of St. John and the land of Silwan.
And the Church objecting to the sales of why they have entered the funds received into the treasury of the Patriarchate as a price for those properties did not return .. ??
This deal is more dangerous than any previous deal, it is located on the entrance to the city and the old town, and what makes the occupier controls, and on the roads leading to the Mosque of Omar and the entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, especially Beit Al-Mu'adhiyya, which is aimed at the occupation of the area of Bab Hatta through it, In the evictions and forcible evictions of our Christian Arab people in the shrinking city, in addition to contributing to the Judaization of the Old City, which was targeted by the occupation.
The case is known to the child before the young man and the Palestinian people. Some patriarchs and employees of the Orthodox Patriarchate sold and leaked these properties for a period of not less than 99 years to settlement societies and fictitious companies overseas. However, the most dangerous ones were recruited from mercenaries, beneficiaries and merchants to defend them. They are more dangerous than those who sold because they adopted misleading and deception to serve special agendas and interests, real estate valued at more than 200 million dollars sold by 2 milliseconds. N dollars .. ???.
After the sale and leaking of Adib Jouda property in the Old City, after the great uproar and the circumstances surrounding the leaking of this property, and accusations that the Authority's failure and failure to play the role assigned to it, and not take any punitive measures against the trainees and sellers, is encouraged by such beneficiaries and mercenaries And those who are deprived of their national, moral and religious values to continue selling and leaking land and real estate in Jerusalem, And the absorption of its vengeance and anger Former Prime Minister Rami al-Hamdallah announced the formation of a commission of inquiry to that, but the results went with the departure of the praise of God, which will never see the light, and the fate of the properties of the Arab Orthodox Church sold and leaked, will be the same fate of the House of Adeeb Jouda, Including those related to the sale and diversion.
