The Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III, has condemned the extremist Jews' attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque, warning that any change to the status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque is equivalent to a threat to the status quo in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Patriarch Theophilos III said in a statement issued yesterday that increasing attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque are a "blatant aggression against religious rights", adding that it is imperative for all honourable Muslims and Christians to unite in defeating them.
He affirmed that freedom of worship is guaranteed in all international laws and charters, and that the practices of extremist Zionist groups against Islamic and Christian holy sites are a clear violation of Muslims and Christians' right to exercise freedom of worship, and that these aggressive and provocative acts are condemned and denounced.

Stick a sock in it Theophilus.
Oh, so when Jews want to worship at a site which was given to them by G-d, they’re “extremists”, but when Christians and Muslims want to worship there, no problem? This guy has a long history of antisemitism, and the rag that published this story has a decided anti-Israel slant. I’m sure not gonna lose any sleep over anything this guy says.
Pretty sure he’s the weirdo who has a ton of videos about how great it would be to kill all Jews.
He has a history of false accusations against Jews https://mosaicmagazine.com/picks/israel-zionism/2022/01/desperate-for-money-the-orthodox-patriarch-of-jerusalem-slanders-israel/
