Francis: Christians in Israel want to be full-fledged citizens

Francis speaks out against discrimination, terror and anti-Semitism. He says Israeli Christians live in Israel and wish to contribute as “full fledged citizens who reject terrorism in all its forms.”

The pope says guaranteeing freedom for all religious groups is important to the health of the state.

“I assure you of my constant prayer for the attainment of peace, and all the inestimable goods that accompany it.”
