International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, Israel
Oct 12 2004
A brawl that started when a yeshiva student spat at the cross being
carried by the Armenian Archbishop during a procession near the Holy
Sepulchre on Sunday has exposed growing tensions between traditional

Both were questioned by police and the yeshiva student will be brought
to trial, having been banned from approaching the Old City for 75 days.
