The Patriarchate unequivocally condemns the recent suicide bombings in Taba, which tragically claimed the lives of Israelis who were visiting the area. We wish to express our deepest condolences to the victims’ families and stand in solidarity with the affected communities during this painful time.
This act was cold blooded murder. As an institution committed to promoting peace and harmony we categorically reject and condemn such forms of violence. We fervently believe in the importance of dialogue, understanding, and peaceful resolution of conflicts to ensure a more secure and prosperous future for all.
