France condemns Israeli police blocking Jerusalem's Latin Patriarch

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned Israeli police for blocking the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from giving Palm Sunday mass, saying worship "for all religions" must be guaranteed in Jerusalem.

"I condemn this decision by the Israeli police," who prevented Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa -- the top Catholic figure for Israel and the Palestinian territories -- Macron said on X.

Their action "adds to a worrying series of violations of the status of holy places in Jerusalem," he said.
