The renowned Greek-Orthodox Christian priest Father Gabriel Naddaf who has led a public campaign for Christian Arab IDF enlistment, is facing allegations that he has attempted to seek sexual favors from youths with whom he came into contact.
The allegations were reported by Channel 2 on Sunday night, and also included claims that Naddaf, together with a Palestinian associate, helped arrange entry visas for Palestinians into Israel for illicit business purposes and sexual favors.
Naddaf denied the allegations, saying that “criminal elements in the community” had tried to frame him, and gained access to his Facebook accounts and cell phone to incriminate him by corresponding in his name.
In 2012, Naddaf established the Israeli Christians Recruitment Forum – Christian Empowerment Council to encourage Christian integration into Israeli society and increase Christian enlistment to the IDF.
