The Israeli government yesterday recognised the Orthodox Church's Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III, according to a Greek Foreign Ministry press release.
The press release said that Israeli Minister of Pensioners Rafi Eitan, who is also president of a three-member ministerial committee on the Greek-Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, called on Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Theodoros Kassimis to ask him to convey to Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis that the Israeli cabinet decided during a meeting Sunday, to recognise Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III. Kassimis thanked Eitan and welcomed the decision "as a move in accordance with Israel's committments towards the international community and Greece regarding the respect of the pilgrimatic status and of the centuries old privileges of the Jerusalem Patriarchate." Kassimis also expressed "certainty that the road is henceforth open for the Patriarchate to respond, with the creative contribution of all, to its sacred mission in the fullest possible manner."
