The police are determing whether or not to open an investigation into Greek Orthodox priest Father Gabriel Naddaf, who is accused of having sexually harassed youths during telephone conversations and electronic correspondence he held with them.

Naddaf has been a high-profile proponent of Christian Arab enlistment to the IDF, and the allegations made against him were made by youths from the sector who had sought his help and advice.

He is also accused of receiving benefit, including sexual favors, from Palestinians for whom he helped obtain entry visas to Israel for illicit business purposes.

The priest is scheduled to take part in a torch-lighting ceremony at the beginning of Independence Day on Wednesday night because of his efforts towards Christian enlistment and integration.
