US raises concern over Israel’s closure of Jerusalem holy sites

The White House says the US has raised concerns with Israel after a Catholic cardinal was blocked from reaching the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday. The restrictions, imposed since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran, mean holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City have been closed to worshippers.
