Israel’s Special Envoy to the Christian world, George Deek, delivered a powerful message from Jerusalem to Christian communities around the world, rejecting the false campaign that tries to portray Israel as hostile to Christians.
Deek, an Arab Christian whose family has lived in the Holy Land for centuries, said: “Today, I have the honor of representing Israel to the Christian world.”
He explained that his mission is “to speak the truth” about the relationship between Israel and Christian communities everywhere.
“In recent days, some have tried to paint a false picture of Christian life in Israel,” Deek said. But the truth, he stressed, is the opposite: in Israel, Christians speak freely, worship freely and live freely.
