[blockquote] The Government of Israel claims that the permits were denied because of an accusation by the Ministry of the Interior that Bishop Suheil acted with the Palestinian Authority in transferring land owned by Jewish people to the Palestinians, and also helped to register lands of Jewish people in the name of the Church. There were further allegations that documents were forged by the bishop.[/blockquote] I suspect we will discover the Bishop will not deny he performed the actions that got him in trouble. I suspect he will assert that the actions he took were not illegal under Israeli law. What reason would the Israelis have to target him? Frankly, I tend to believe the Israelis in this matter.
