Pope urged to delay Jerusalem pilgrimage over access
In Rome the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Monsignor Michael Sabbah, says Pope John Paul II should defer a Jerusalem pilgrimage until Palestinians in the occupied territories gain open access to the city. He notes Bethlehem Christians must travel without a military permit and freedoms must extend to all occupied-area inhabitants. The backdrop is Israel’s closure of the West Bank and Gaza and tightened rules after the Hebron mosque massacre.
