Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Office of Israel, expressed condolences to Pope Francis four days after his death.
The previous proposal of condolences in the social media official state account of Israel was previously removed, which caused significant disputes in the country.
On Saturday, Israel also directs a low -level delegation to the Pontiff’s funeral, which was attended only by the Vatican Ambassador.
All this was noticed in Israel and in other places as a sign of dissatisfaction with the Israeli government with the arrogant remarks of Pope Francis about the war in Gaza.
The Zaponka and the Air Force, Thursday evening, Prime Minister of the Israeli Prime Minister, made two proposals.
It states: “The state of Israel expresses its deepest condolences to the Catholic Church and the Catholic community around the world during the passage of Pope Francis. Let him rest quietly.”
The tone of the original message, written by the @israel tested account on X on the day of the Pope’s death, was noticeably warmer.
It presented a photo of Pope Francis on the Western Wall in Jerusalem and concluded: “Let his memory be a blessing.”
But it was quickly recalled without explanation.
Several Israeli media reported about the removed, and the Jerusalem post quoted officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying it was placed in a “mistake”.
Former Israeli Ambassador with the Vatican Rafael Shuts, who describes the decision to remove the published statement as an error, also quoted in Jerusalem.
In connection with such criticism, Israeli officials noted that the current ambassador of the country in the Vatican personally expressed his condolences.
And this is the ambassador, Jaron Sideman, who will represent Israel at the funeral of Pope Francis.
This is unlike the heads of state or government, which will visit the majority of major countries, including US President Donald Trump.
It is also very different from the funeral of the last pope who died while in John Paul II in 2005. Israel sent then President Moshe Katsov and the then foreign minister, Sylvan Shalom to take part in the ceremony.
The current Israeli President Isaac Duke has published a telling and heartfelt tribute to Pope Francis hours after his death, calling him a deep faith and boundless condolence.
But it seems that the funeral is not planned. There were no reasons, although it may have something in common with the funeral that is happening in the Sabbath Saturday.
But it seems it seems that the offense of the Israeli government on the expression of Pope Francis Solidarity with Palestinians, especially during the war in Gaza, thwarted his death.
In November last year, Pope Francis suggested that the international community should study whether the military offensive in the gas in Gazeline should be classified as a genocide – Israel’s accusation severely denied.
Earlier this year, he called the humanitarian situation in the newspaper “Shame”.
In its last public address on Easter Sunday – the day before death – once again the gas was mentioned. His address spoke of the suffering of both the Palestinians and the Israelis.
From the moment of his death, more details have emerged about how Pope Francis would contact almost daily when a shelter in the Church in Gaza Sity.
The Palestinians warmly talked about how much his expression gave them hope.
As a sign of how high they respected the Pope, the Palestinian authorities are sending Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa to the funeral.
All this meant that some in Israel, especially among the coalition of religious and nationalist parties that subjected Netanyahu coalition, believe that Pope Francis took the Palestinians, despite the expressions of sympathy for Israelis and his efforts to strengthen multi-fasc.
Such a sense of rupture between the current Israeli government and the Vatican may well be visible at the Pope’s funeral in Rome, where Israeli leaders will be noticeable by their absence.
