Israel will appoint Greek Orthodox patriarch

Greece’s Foreign Ministry clashed with ousted patriarch of Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem Ireneus I. Jordan ousted Ireneus for his land sale to Jewish companies. Jordan, at peace with Israel, bans sale of land to Jews whom its law euphemistically describes as “non-Arabs.”
Israel’s Supreme Court will decide whether Ireneus was fired legally, and can reinstate him. This is the first time when Jews decide the fate of a Christian patriarch.
