Israeli police block Catholic cardinal from Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday - Al Jazeera
Overview
Israeli police prevented Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to mark Palm Sunday, citing safety amid the wider Israel–Iran confrontation. The restriction was quickly reversed after widespread public and diplomatic criticism, a rare about-face that deepened outrage among Christian communities. The episode highlights how security measures tied to regional strikes and reciprocal attacks are disrupting major religious observances and increasing local tensions.
