(Voice of the Persecuted) You are invited to join us on Monday, November 20, 2023, in a prayer conference call hosted by Persecution Watch for the persecuted Church, Gaza and Israel.Joel Rosenberg issued an urgent plea to the Israeli government Friday, imploring leaders to quickly and systematically evacuate Christian Palestinians trapped in Gaza amid Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas. Rosenberg penned an open letter to “Israeli leaders at the highest levels of our government and the military,” detailing why he believes this evacuation must unfold.
He spoke with CBN Digital on Friday to further frame the pressing matter. “It’s a terrible situation, as you can imagine,” he said. “Everybody in Gaza wants to be out of Gaza right now.” But Rosenberg stressed an important difference between the millions of Muslims living there and the 1,000 or so remaining Christian minority members still trapped in the area: Hamas will target Christians just as they did Jews during the Oct. 7 terror attack.
While the Israeli government has spent the past five weeks since Hamas’ brutal terror attack urging Palestinians in the northern part of Gaza to move south, Christians had been hesitant. They have mostly sheltered inside three churches, where they are safe but have very little food, water, or medical supplies. They’re mostly trapped in these buildings because of the fighting going on outside. But Israeli forces have reportedly asked them to also move south.
