(Times of Israel) Israel's ambassador to the United States on Thursday denounced as "libelous" an article that appeared in The Washington Post which claimed that Israel prevents "the vast majority of Christians living in the West Bank" from entering Jerusalem to attend Easter holy week ceremonies.
"It's a libelous article," Ambassador Michael Oren said of the piece, headlined "A dark Easter for Palestinian Christians" and written by Richard Stearns, the US president of World Vision, a global Christian humanitarian agency.
