Go for it Larry.
When Israel first flirted with a veto over Irineos certain leases from the Church to Israel suddenly came up for "review" if I recall correctly. Rather inconveniently, (for Israel at times) the Church OWNS much of Jerusalem.

*Yesterday's decision by the government was apparently the result of a complaint to the police lodged by MK Uri Ariel (National Union) on Thursday, accusing Irineos of incitement to rebel, incitement to use terrorism, and incitement to murder.
The reason seems pretty clear, in the article.

The landholdings of the Orthodox Church are very much under threat. The Armenian Orthodox Church has already lost significant properties. If they sell, the Jewish Land Fund will give them a very good price. But then, the land is held for the exclusive use of the Jewish community. If they refuse to sell, then comes the expropriation order. The Palestinians on the West Bank have had a lot of that, except that they never got offered any fancy prices.

Money. Shocking. What took them so long to go after the land?
