Israeli police prevented senior Catholic leaders from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, drawing international condemnation and prompting Italy to summon Israel’s ambassador in Rome for talks. Israeli police said the move was made due to wartime security restrictions and concerns for public safety.

According to a joint statement by the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custody of the Holy Land, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa and Custos Father Francesco Ielpo were stopped en route to the church and “were compelled to turn back.” The statement said that “for the first time in centuries, the heads of the Church were prevented from celebrating the Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.”
