Middle East, Kallas: ‘Ban on Pizzaballa a violation of religious freedom’

Turin, 29 March (LaPresse) – “The decision by the Israeli police to prevent the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday constitutes a violation of religious freedom and of the established safeguards governing holy sites. Freedom of worship in Jerusalem must be fully guaranteed, without exception, to all faiths. The multi-religious character of Jerusalem must be protected.” So wrote the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, in a post on X.
