Frankfurt (Germany), May 8 (LaPresse) – Israeli President Isaac Herzog congratulated Pope Leo XIV on his election as the new head of the Catholic Church.
Sending “the warmest wishes from the Holy City of Jerusalem,” Herzog said he looked forward to “strengthening the relationship between Israel and the Holy See and deepening the friendship between Jews and Christians in the Holy Land and around the world.” “May your papacy be an opportunity to build bridges and mutual understanding between all faiths and peoples. May we witness the immediate and safe return of the hostages still held in Gaza, and a new era of peace in our region and across the globe,” Herzog added.
