Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby says doing so could be tantamount to anti-Semitic libel.
JERUSALEM: The Church of England’s spiritual head said today he had “no idea” how many people died in a blast last week at an Anglican hospital in the Gaza Strip, and that assuming Israeli culpability could be tantamount to anti-Semitic libel.
The governing Palestinian Islamist group Hamas accused Israel of carrying out an air strike on the hospital. Asked during a visit to Jerusalem if he could corroborate a figure for the fatalities, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby told reporters: “I have no idea about how many civilians there were. I’ve heard so many numbers.”
