French President Emmanuel Macron denounced the actions of Israeli police, who barred the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from leading Palm Sunday mass, emphasizing that freedom of worship must be ensured for all faiths in the city.

Macron explicitly condemned the decision, stating "I condemn this decision by the Israeli police", in reference to their prevention of Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the highest-ranking Catholic official in Israel and the Palestinian territories, from carrying out his duties.

The French leader expressed his concerns on X, noting that the incident contributes to a disturbing pattern of infringements upon the sanctity of sacred sites in Jerusalem.
