It's complicated story. Originally, the church belong to one religious group. Then the Israeli government help another group claim the church as theirs. Since then, both groups held animosity with each other since they believe they are the rightful owners of that church while the others are thieves.

The Church of Holy Sepulchre has a long history. It was long dominated by the Greek Orthodox that dated from Byzantine Empire. After it fell to Muslim control, Muslims still allowed Christian pilgrims access to the church. The Crusades brought Catholics to Palestine and the Franks established crusader state for a while, gaining a claim in the church in the process. Then came the Armenians, Russians, Copts, Ethiopians, etc etc. So all parties negotiated to share duties and arrangements, down to silly little things like who gets to sweep that stair. When someone breaks the arrangement, like moving a chair to another spot, other parties may take offense and start a fight. All these predate the establishment of modern state of Israel. The Israel government has absolutely nothing to do with this. Interestingly, a Muslim family is in charge of the key to the church door, a duty that dates back to Saladin's reign. |
