What happened

Al Jazeera reports: What’s happening to Christians in their Holy Land?.

Why it matters

Access to key Christian holy sites in Jerusalem has been restricted this Easter holiday.

Common ground

Israel says it protects Christianity in the Middle East, but Palestinian Christians say they face violence and movement restrictions contributing to a decline in the Christian population.

Perspective signals
