Sources in the Hezbollah terror organization have called on Lebanese Maronite Patriarch Boutros Al-Rahi not to visit Israel, claiming that such a visit could create a political crisis in Lebanon, according to a Tuesday-morning report by Kol Yisrael government radio. The visit would be to accompany Pope Francis when he visits at the end of May.
Al-Rahi responded by saying he has not intention to meet with Israeli representatives and that he knows Israel is an enemy state.
