Israel’s prime minister plans to meet with the pope on a trip to Italy next week.
Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet Pope Francis at the Vatican next Wednesday. Israeli President Shimon Peres, who serves in a largely ceremonial position, met the head of the Catholic church in April.
Earlier this week, Israel’s Channel 2 reported that Pope Francis will visit Israel in March.
A statement Wednesday from the prime minister’s office announcing the scheduled meeting said Netanyahu also will meet US Secretary of State John Kerry on the same trip. The two will discuss ongoing talks over Iran’s nuclear program and negotiations with the Palestinians.
The Vatican and Israel established diplomatic relations in 1993.
How sad, may Ha Shem protect Netanyahu , may he only bow down before the only true God. Prophecies are unfolding, may the times of the Jew’s salvation hasten, for their mercy’s sake. , and for His Name’s sake and for His glory.
Keeping channels open and transparent is a good idea, but that never happens with the Pope and the Vatican, or with Kerry and the US Government. Yes, pray that Netanyahu will have clear DISCERNMENT in dealing with both of these, and free Netanyahu from the shackles of the New World Order/Council on Foreign Relations, who dictate to him what to do. May Netanyahu be truly Born-From-Above, coming to YHVH, and leading Israel as YHVH’s representative on earth. Miracles can happen!! The Will of YHVH will be done, as no one can stop Him!! Roger
