Israeli police block Catholic figures from Palm Sunday Mass at Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre - NBC News
Overview
World leaders and Christian officials voiced concern after Israeli police prevented Cardinal Pizzaballa and other Catholic figures from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Palm Sunday, a decision later reversed amid backlash. Authorities cited safety fears tied to the broader conflict with Iran, underscoring how the security situation is interfering with Holy Week rites. Pope Leo XIV’s decision to carry the cross throughout the Good Friday procession and his pointed message about leaders’ accountability further underscore the heightened symbolic and political stakes surrounding this year’s religious observances.
