Visit to terror memorial counterbalance to wall stop?
The visit to the terror victims’ memorial, at Netanyahu’s request, could be seen as a response to the pope’s unplanned visit to the security barrier in Bethlehem on Sunday.
The stop at the barrier became a highlight of the pope’s trip and was seen a major PR coup for Palestinian efforts to highlight Israeli repression.
The memorial is nearby on Mount Herzl, and so will not throw off the trip’s very tight scheduling by much.
