It's a monastery that was gifted to the Egyptian copts by Sultan "Abdul Malik Bin Marwan" and it was named, "Deir El Sultan" ( The Sultan's Monastery ), After Saladin liberated Jerusalem from the Christians, He gave the Christian Egyptian copts their Monastery back, A very beautiful monument from the inside and the outside and very close to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and has an opening door directly to that church. The Primates, Metropolitan, bishops, Archbishop and Diocesans are all Egyptians, An officially Egyptian monastery. In the times of Abdul Hamid II, The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. There was a problem for the Christians in Ethiopia, They couldn't afford paying for the taxes to the Ottomans. The Copts of the monastery wanted to land a hand and invited the Ethiopian monks to live with them, and they supported them with payment for these taxes, One day the Ethiopian monks stole the key of the monastery and claim it to be theirs. They literally occupied the monastery and kicked out the Egyptians. When the Copts complained to Sultan Abdul Hamid II, He issued an order to give back the Monastery to the Egyptians Copts and force the Ethiopians to give the key to them. This story was repeated for 3 times under the Ottomans rule and 2 times under the British extension. The british forced the Ethiopians to give back the key like the Ottomans. Everytime the Copts would forgive the Ethiopians and let them stay and they backstab, Until 1959, In this very year, The Ethiopian monks complained to King of Jordan Hussein and told him that the Copts stole their Monastery and won't give it back. King Hussein believed their story and he sent orders to force the Copts out, The Christian Patriarch in Egypt gone mad and he sent a messenger to the king of Jordan to negotiate, The Copts managed to persuade king Hussen that the Ethiopians are bunch of liars so he corrected what he did wrong. In 1970, Israel flatout kicked out the Copts without a reason and let the Ethiopians in, The Bishop of the Copts filed an appeal before the Israeli Supreme Court, which unanimously approved the restoration of the monastery to the Coptic Church on March 16, 1971, but the Israeli government still refuses to implement the Supreme Court ruling to this day. But they allowed them to be there.
Two weeks ago, Ethiopian monks raised their Ethiopian flag on the monastery since Israel gave them permission to do so and Copts of Egypt didn't like that and they fought each-other.
Like you see, Israel is enabling thieves to steal the Egyptians Copts and infuriating them, The ones who assisted them in time of need before, At times where the Ottmon empire was weak and very corrupt and would take huge taxes even from the poor. But when you see what Israel did to Palestine, You begin to understand their sick mentality. Palestine once aided the non Palestinian Jews in time of need and in return they conquered them and slaughter them and took their land. They enabled the Ethiopians to apply the same treatment to the Copts of Egypt. Just like what UK once did to Palestine.
