The pope for president?

25 May 2014, 12:19 pm Edit

Israeli comedy show “Eretz Nehederet” conflates Pope Francis’s visit with the increasingly competitive horserace for the Israeli presidency in a picture uploaded to its Facebook page. The photo, taken during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Rome in December 2013, shows Netanyahu and his wife with Pope Francis. Sara Netanyahu prompts her husband, “Ask him.” Netanyahu then asks the pontiff, “Want to be president?”
