Israel's ambassador to the Vatican accuses Egypt's Muslim leader of being anti-Semitic. He criticizes the Pope for not condemning him.
The war in Gaza affects the relationship between the Vatican and the Jewish State. The Egyptian imam Al Tayeb, whom the ambassador attacks, is very close to Francis. The Israeli ambassador made reference to the long letter that Francis sent to the Imam of Cairo, Al Tayyeb for the fifth anniversary of the document of the Brotherhood between Catholics and Muslims.
