Pope Francis Refers to "State of Palestine," Prays at "Apartheid Wall" 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Pope Francis has paid a visit to Israel and the Occupied Territories,
flying directly to Bethlehem where he referred to the "State of
Palestine" and made an unscheduled stop at Israel's separation wall,
bowing his head next to graffiti reading "Apartheid Wall" and "Free
Palestine." On Monday, Pope Francis laid flowers on the tomb of the
founder of modern Zionism, Theodor Herzl, in Jerusalem.
