Pope Francis and Argentine President Javier Milei will meet at the Vatican next Monday. Pope Francis says Jerusalem must be maintained as the capital of a Jewish state and a Palestinian state.

Milei wants to move the Argentine embassy from Tel Aviv to the “eternal capital’ Pope Francis expressed his “deep concern” about the situation raised by President Trump's announcement in December 2016, writes Frida Ghitis, a former Vatican ambassador to the U.S. and Israel. The Pope is expected to meet with Israel's President Isaac Herzog.
