The NCCA has written to the Australian Foreign Minister seeking to bring a small delegation of National Church Leaders, with links in the Middle East, to meet her and raise concerns that they may have regarding the Israeli annexation plans for parts of the Palestinian West Bank territory and the Jordan Valley.
