HH Pope Tawadros II, has cancelled a meeting with US Vice President Mike Pence over last week’s decision by US President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital to Israel.
“Considering the decision taken by the US administration concerning the city of Jerusalem at this inappropriate time with no consideration to the feelings of millions of Arabs, the Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Church declines to meet with Mr Mike Pence,” said the Coptic Orthodox Church in a short statement.
