Church of Holy Sepulchre to reopen Wednesday after tax collection suspended

Christian leaders say the Church of the Holy Sepulchre will re-open on Wednesday, three days after they closed it in a tax dispute with Israeli authorities in Jerusalem.

The announcement comes after the Jerusalem city hall earlier on Tuesday suspended a controversial move to tax church-owned properties until a new government committee finds a solution to the issue.
