Al-Quds, Patriarch and Vatican criticize Israel: violates religious freedom

AL QUDS – “We are appalled at the unjustifiable manner of what happened and want to denounce …

and condemn clearly and unequivocally.” This was said by the Latin Patriarch of Al Quds (occupied Jerusalem), Pierbattista Pizzaballa referring to the Zionist regime’s police charge during the funeral of Al-Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed by Israeli forces on May 11, in Jenin in the occupied West Bank. A behavior that cannot be justified on “security grounds,” said Per Father Grysa, Vatican delegate. “The Israeli police violated in a very brutal way the right to religious freedom.”
