Israel bars Christians from Jerusalem church for the first time in centuries

I can admit when I'm wrong.

Israeli police said all holy sites in Jerusalem's Old City – including those sacred to Christians, Muslims and Jews – had been closed to worshippers since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, particularly locations without ⁠bomb shelters.

Police said they had rejected a request from the Patriarchate for a Palm Sunday exemption.

"The Old City and the holy sites constitute a complex area that does not allow access for large emergency and rescue vehicles, which significantly challenges response capabilities and poses a real risk to human life in the event of a mass casualty incident," police said.

Thanks for the facts conveniently left out of the OP.....it actually ISN'T religious persecution.
 
"it was clarified that it could not be approved" because of these restrictions, and noted that Jerusalem's Old City is "a complex area that does not allow access for large emergency and rescue vehicles" in case of a "mass casualty incident."
Yes. There's a war going on, some people may be inconvenienced.
