Hi everyone,
This is a church located in Jerusalem, but I'm not sure how to refer to it in English.
كنيسة الملاك
Any suggestions?
Is it chapel of the Angel?
All I know is that it's a church which Copts and Ethiopian Christians are both staking claim to.
Many thanks!

Deir el-Sultan
It appears that the name most commonly used today in English for the place you describe is Deir el-Sultan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_es-Sultan
It was originally دير الملاك because it's dedicated to Archangel Michael, but it's now called دير السلطان in Arabic because an Ottoman Sultan granted the Ethiopians the right to celebrate Easter on the roof of the Holy Sepulchre. It seems like Copts are more likely to call it دير الملاك nowadays because of that history.
There is a Chapel of the Angel inside the Holy Sepulchre, but it's not disputed between any religious groups. Deir el-Sultan is the only place within the Holy Sepulchre complex that is disputed between Ethiopians and Copts, so it fits your description.
If you look at the link with the Google results, if you search for Deir el-Malak Jerusalem, most of the results call the site Deir el-Sultan.
