Jerusalem Palm Sunday clash: police bar Catholic patriarch from Holy Sepulchre
Israeli police barred Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Jerusalem’s Latin Patriarch, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to celebrate Palm Sunday, with the Patriarchate saying he was stopped while privately moving rather than in a procession; Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni condemned the move as an offense to the faithful, as authorities limit gatherings during the war and the Palm Sunday procession was canceled.
