Israeli police blocked Catholic cardinal from Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday before Netanyahu reversed the decision
Israeli police prevented Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Palm Sunday Mass, marking the first time in centuries such access was denied. The decision was made due to safety concerns related to the ongoing Iran war, with holy sites in Jerusalem's Old City closed since February 28. Prime Minister Netanyahu later intervened to allow access after international criticism.
