Abu al-Walid Dajani

Abu al-Walid Dajani is an 82-year-old hotelier and the operator of the Imperial Hotel located at the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem, where he has worked since his father leased the property from the Greek Orthodox Church in 1949. He is dedicated to preserving the Christian heritage in the area and providing hospitality to pilgrims, although he currently faces a potential eviction as legal battles surrounding property sales by the church unfold.
