Israel's travel restrictions hamper Palestinian Christian observances during Holy Week
CWN - March 29, 2010

The Israeli government has closed down borders for 9 days, barring most travel from the West Bank into Jerusalem. While some Christians will receive the necessary special permission to enter the city for liturgical celebrations, the Christians in Gaza will not be allowed to travel.
