The Methodist Council of Churches in the United States called on its representatives at the US Congress to practice pressure on the Israeli Authorities to stop their decision to shut down the facilities of the Islamic Charitable Society in Hebron.


The Israeli army carried repeated attacks against the society which fosters hundreds of orphans and runs several facilities in order to support thousands of families in need. It is located in the southern West Bank city of Hebron.

The Methodist Council of Churches stated in a session which was held in New York that it slams and denounces the repeated army attacks against the society and the destruction of confiscation of its properties.
