Before entering the major seminary just outside Bethlehem in 2014, Fr.SalmonSalman studied computer technologies. He was ordained a priest in 2021 and his name became prominent among Palestinians in 2022 when he organized a solemn funeral procession for Shireen Abu Akleh, a Catholic American Palestinian journalist for Al Jazeera who was intentionally assassinated by the Israeli army while wearing a vest clearly marked with the word “PRESS.”

He called Israel an occupying power, as has a report in the United States:
This section of the report covers the West Bank and Gaza and East Jerusalem territories that Israel occupied during the June 1967 war. In 2017, the United States recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Language in this report is not meant to convey a position on any final-status issues to be negotiated between the parties to the conflict, including the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem or the borders between Israel and any future Palestinian state.
