Adeeb Joudeh Al -Husseini, Secretary of the Holy Judgment Church, the holder of the Holy Try, revealed the challenges of the Hajj season to the Holy Land on the upcoming Easter, with the escalation of Israeli violations in the cities of the West Bank and Jerusalem.
Amin Moftah, the Holy Sepulcher Church, said, in statements to “The Seventh Day”, that the pilgrims this year are facing great challenges that hinder their arrival in Jerusalem, most notably the continued suspension of many airlines their flights to Ben -Gurion’s Israeli airport due to the difficult security conditions that the region is going through, explaining that this air stopping constitutes a major obstacle to the flow of pilgrims and tourists to the Holy Land.
He pointed out that the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is ready to receive the pilgrims, but the indicators so far do not herald a crowded season as usual, explaining that there is another problem facing pilgrims due to the lack of health insurance for those wishing to visit the Holy Land, as many countries have declined to give visitors to Jerusalem health insurance, which increased the difficulty of making the decision to travel for many.
He pointed out that the absence of insurance constitutes a great concern for the pilgrims who need to ensure medical care during their journey, especially in light of the current conditions, stressing that the old town in Jerusalem suffers from a clear economic recession, as most stores are still closed, and the tourist movement is almost non -existent, pointing out that the absence of pilgrims and visitors directly affects the owners of shops and the local community that depends mainly on religious tourism in securing ways Live.

He stressed that Jerusalem, with its religious and historical greatness, remains a unique spiritual destination, continuing: “We hope that the caravans of pilgrims will return to it soon, so that the glorious Easter will remain an occasion that brings the believers from all over the world in the vastness of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, as the highest meanings of faith and peace are manifested.”
