The Catholic Church's Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem would regain access to Christianity's holiest site after the decision to block him from entering the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday triggered international condemnation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Police prevented Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa from entering the church, citing security concerns as Israel enforces a ban on gatherings in synagogues, churches and mosques during the ongoing Iran war, which has brought Tehran's missile strikes near holy sites.
