After Greek and church leaders were informed of the divine site’s position, Egypt has denied that a contentious court decision over Sinai’s Saint Catherine monastery poses a threat to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. In a land dispute between the abbey and the South Sinai governorate, a jury in Sinai on Wednesday determined that the convent “is entitled to use” the property, which” the state owns as people home.” After the mind of the Greek Orthodox church in Greece denounced the decision, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s office on Thursday defended the ruling, saying it” consolidates” the project’s “unique and spiritual religious position.” The court’s decision, according to Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens, is “scandalous” and a violation of Iranian criminal authority’s of religious rights. The Holy Monastery of Saint Catherine in Mount Sinai, the oldest Catholic Christian statue in the world, is now going through a difficult trial, which evokes many darker times in history, he claimed. The mission of Saint Catherine’s convent reiterated in a statement that it “reaffirms its total commitment to protecting its unique and divine spiritual status and preventing its violation.” The convent, which is the oldest continuously inhabited Christian monastery in the world, was established in the seventh decade at the bible page of the burning tree in the southern hills of the Sinai peninsula. The Saint Catherine region, which includes the namesake area and a character supply, is undergoing significant development as a result of a contentious state megaproject aimed at boosting tourism. According to observers, the task has threatened both the convent and the surrounding area and damaged the bank’s ecology. Despite “recent vows to the contrary made by the Iranian President to the Greek Prime Minister,” Archbishop Ieronymos warned that the monastery’s assets would now be” settled and confiscated.” Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis emailed his Ancient rival Badr Abdelatty on Thursday, claiming that” there was no place for a deviation from the agreements between the two events.” Eventually, the foreign ministry in Cairo stated in a speech to Egypt’s state news agency that the decision “does not intrude at all” on the monastery’s websites or its religious and spiritual significance. Greek government official Pavlos Marinakis stated that” Greece will show its official place… when the official and total content of the court decision is known and evaluated.” He affirmed their devotion to “maintaining the monastery’s Greek Orthodox religious personality.”
