<p>Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv are in regular contact with representatives
of churches on a range of issues, including concern about attacks on places of worship.
The last attack occurred on 17 January when the Dormition Abbey compound of the Orthodox
Church in the Old City of Jerusalem was vandalised with anti-Christian slogans. The
‘Tag Meir’ organisation has listed 44 cases of vandalism and arson on Christian and
Muslim places of worship in Israel and the West Bank since December 2009.</p>
