  • Pope Francis may visit Israel in June, meet with Russian Orthodox Patriarch

    The Vatican is looking into the possibility of Pope Francis visiting Jerusalem in June, Reuters reported Monday, citing two unnamed sources.

    The news agency said the purpose of the visit would be a meeting with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, who has voiced support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

    The pope is already scheduled to visit Lebanon in mid-June. According to Reuters, he may extend his trip, flying to Amman on June 14 and then to Jerusalem by helicopter. He would head back to Rome from Israel.
