Archbishop Hosam Naoum and some of his clergy arrived in Dublin last Sunday for a joint retreat with clergy of Dublin and Glendalough dioceses, which continues until Thursday. He said the decision to recognise Palestine was “timely”. A Christian Arab Israeli himself, he believes “we are a step closer to the realisation of the Palestinian and, I would add as well, the Israeli dream of becoming two states side by side living in peace and harmony. The Church continues to call for a two-state solution, even though many don’t see that as any more a viable solution.
On Monday evening, at a special service in St Ann’s Church on Dublin’s Dawson St, Archbishop Naoum warmly thanked the Church of Ireland dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough for the €216,000 raised to date towards rebuilding the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza.
