Head of Minority Affairs at the Ministry of Public Security, Dr. Moti (Mordechai) Zaken, visited the Greek Orthodox seminary, following the arson. He met with the Greek-Orthodox Patriarch Patriarch Theophilos III and with the Consul-General of Greece in Jerusalem Mr. Georgios Zacharoudiakis. Dr. Zaken condemned the act of arson, explaining that the overwhelming majority of Israeli society condemns such acts and expressed his support and commitment of the State to the various religious minorities in the country. Both the Consul-General and the Patriarch were satisfied with the words of encouragement and when the Patriarch came out to the press, he gave moderate statements.
