> American evangelical leader John Hagee condemned Palestinian Ambassador to the U.K. Husam Zomlot’s claim that the Bible is a “Palestinian book” and his related portrayal of Jesus as Palestinian. Hagee said the remarks improperly claim Jewish religious and historical heritage, while critics described them as part of a contested narrative about the land.
