- Israel is in the process of building a wall or separation fence which is says is needed to protect them from suicide bombers. "Church leaders in the region are vehemently opposed to the barrier's construction. Bishop Riah Abu El-Assal, the Episcopal bishop in Jerusalem, warns that Israelis are fencing themselves in as well. `The best of secure borders are reconciled neighbours, and the closest of neighbours are the Palestinians. Those fences and walls will not only encircle Palestinian towns and add to the grudges, but they will also close the Israeli community into a kind of ghetto,' he said. `The root cause of all of this business of building walls is the occupation. Once the Israelis quit occupying the lands of others, then they can hope for and receive the security they so desire. This is not the time to build walls. This is the time to build bridges. And only if they learn how to build a bridge rather than a wall will they guarantee themselves security, peace and stability,' the bishop said." The farmers of Jayyous are protesting the building of the wall which cuts them off from their fertile fields and the town's wells. Their protest is supported by international members of the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel, coordinated by the World Council of Churches.

- Notes
- "Historic St. George's Anglican Cathedral was filled to overflowing on Low Sunday, 15 April [2007] as the 14th Anglican bishop, the Rt. Rev. Suheil Dawani, was installed and welcomed as bishop of this important diocese in the life of the Anglican Communion".
- "In his sermon, given in Arabic and summarised in English, Bishop Suheil called for a strong Christian proclamation in the days ahead in the Holy Land. He made repeated references for dialogue with 'sister faiths' and recognised the 'mutual sufferings' of Muslims, Jews and Christians, and called for Israel and Palestine to 'accept each other and forgive'. He said Jesus Christ's call is 'a mission of reconciliation with justice and peace with human dignity' for all. He said, 'we need bridges of peace, not walls of separation'. Bishop Suheil said clearly that the current situation is a 'critical time' for all. His call and vision is for 'Jesus Christ to increase' in this diocese".
