Pope Francis in Israel (Photos)
Pope Francis is in Israel this afternoon (Israel time) and tomorrow.
The itinerary today, after a trip to Bethlehem, included arrival at Ben Gurion Airport and a trip to the Church of the Holy Sepulcre in Jerusalem. Tomorrow will be visits to the Temple Mount and Western Wall, meetings with Israeli political and religious leaders, and a visit to Yad Vashem.
Here are some images I grabbed from the live video feed:
