Church leaders appeal to U.S. to stop Israeli incursion
BY CELEAN JACOBSEN
llll ASSOC! VI ED PW ss
JERUSALEM - The
heads of all the Christian
churches in Jerusalem
appealed to U.S. President
George W. Bush on Tues
day to halt Israel's latest
military incursion into the
biblical West Bank town of
Bethlehem.
Also Tuesday, about 100
priests and Franciscan
brothers marched from
Jerusalem's walled Old
City to Israeli Prime Minis
ter Ariel Sharon's official
residence, demanding an
end to the Israeli military
offensive.
Braving heavy rain,
some clergymen waved
olive branches, and others
carried posters with a mes
sage in French. Italian and
Hebrew reading: "We are
for peace."
The priests and monks
made a prayer stop at the
U.S. Consulate in
, Jerusalem.
Early Tuesday, Israeli
tanks entered Bethlehem,
and there were heavy
exchanges of fire between
Palestinian gunmen and
Israeli soldiers.
An Israeli helicopter
gunship hovering over
Manger Square exchanged
fire with Palestinian gun
men taking up positions in
Manger Square, near the
Church of the Nativity,
huilt over Jesus' traditional
grotto.
Also, two Palestinian
civilians - a 64-year-old
woman and her 38-year-old
son - were killed by Israeli
fire at their homes in down
town Bethlehem, near the
Church of the Nativity, rel
atives said. The two were
critically wounded and died
two hours later, after Israeli
forces barred ambulances
from reaching the area.
Elsewhere, a 60-year-old
Palestinian security guard
was killed in the fighting.
A report by a Rome
based news service that a
65-year-old priest was
killed in an exchange of
fire near a convent in
downtown Bethlehem was
erroneous. Church officials
said the priest was well.
In their appeal to Bush,
church leaders in Jerusalem
asked the U.S. president to
"stop immediately the
inhuman tragedy that is
taking place in this Holy
Land."
They said many Bethle
hem residents were
deprived of water, electrici
ty, food and medical sup
plies, and that several reli
gious institutions had been
occupied by troops and
damaged.
"We call upon your
Christian conscience,
because we know you are
the only one who can stop
this tragedy immediately,"
the church leaders wrote to
Bush. "We in return will
play our part in mediating
for the peace and security
of all the people of this
land, both Israeli and Pales
tinian."
A similar appeal was
addressed to the European
Community. British Prime
Minister Tony Blair, and
religious leaders around the
world.
The army drive into
Bethlehem is part of
Israel's accelerating mili
tary offensive against
Palestinian militias. The
incursions followed a
string of bloody Palestinian
suicide bomb attacks on
Israeli civilians.
Israeli forces have
entered Bethlehem several
times in the past 18 months
of fighting, but in the past
kept a distance from the
Church of the Nativity, one
of Christianity's holiest
shrines. During^an, Israeli
incursion in October, the
church was slightly dam
aged by stray bullets.

other areas. In this photograph, Israeli tanks are heading into the Palestinian town of Bethlehem.
Powell
from page B8
committed to plans the Unit
ed States is pushing for a
lasting cease-fire and steps
toward peace.
Responding to a biparti
san clamor from members of
Congress that he intervene
more directly in the crisis.
Bush said his critics "must
have not been with me in
Crawford when I was on the
phone all morning long"
talking to leaders in the
region. The president spent
the Easter weekend at his
ranch in Crawford. Texas.
Evidently, sending Pow
ell to the region as suggested
Sunday by Sen. Joseph
Lieberman. D-Conn.. was
not an option under discus
sion at the White House as
Bush met with his senior
security advisers.
Powell, however, spoke
by telephone with Arafat and
Sharon on Saturday: with the
foreign ministers of Spain.
Israel. Japan. Britain and the
European Union over the
weekend; and with U.N. Sec
retary-General Kofi Annan
and Sharon again on Mon
day.
"Terror will never
advance Palestinian political
aspirations," State Depart
ment deputy spokesman
Philip Reeker said. Palestin
ian leaders must act now
against those responsible, he
said, and make clear to the
Palestinian people that terror
and violence must stop.
Reeker also aimed
remarks at Sharon's military
thrust into Ramallah.
"We're gravely con
cerned at the situation in
Ramallah and other areas
where Israeli forces are mov
ing.
"We deplore the killing
and wounding of innocent
Palestinians. And we urge
Israel to use maximum
restraint to avoid harm to
civilians and permit access
for humanitarian services,"
Reeker said.
