Reports out of Rome say the Pontiff will visit Israel in late May, and his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this morning seemed to encourage such speculation. As NCR reports, Netanyahu gave Francis a book his father wrote on the Spanish inquisition. Thanks, I guess. But it had a nice inscription: “To his holiness, Pope Francescus, a great shepherd of our common heritage.” From the Israeli government photo, it looks like Francis also got a nice menorah in time for the holidays.
