Wadie Abu Nassar, the co-founder of the Forum of Holy Land Christians, will help us understand the profound impact this escalation is having on local communities and the Churches at large. Hana Bendcowsky, will shed light on the urgent need to address this issue from an Israeli Jewish perspective, examining what this says about changes within Israeli society and exploring potential solutions to tackle the problem.
