CWN Editor's Note: Caritas International, the consortium of Catholic relief agencies, has joined with the World Council of Churches and ACT Alliance in a decision to cancel a planned visit to Jerusalem and the West Bank, citing the escalating tensions in the region.
In a statement explaining the decision, the groups said they were “appalled by the complete disregard for human life and the disproportionate indiscriminate attacks.” They called for an unconditional ceasefire, and for “an immediate end to all supply of weapons to Israel for as long as they continue to attack Palestine in this manner.”
