Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly canceled plans to attend the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican due to concerns over a possible arrest linked to a pending warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to Israeli media outlet Ynet.

The decision followed behind-the-scenes inquiries made by the occupation government with both Italian and Vatican officials to assess whether Netanyahu could enter the country without facing detention. However, responses from both parties were reportedly ambiguous, and it remained unclear whether they would comply with the ICC's warrant should Netanyahu set foot on their soil.

Seriously though, I've heard talk that the church is looking for ways to encourage new membership, everyone sees them as some inneffective vestige of an old time but if they started acting like a modern force upholding their claimed values people would be all over that.

Italy would absolutely have to take the Vatican's side, right? The public pressure would be society-breaking.

Bibi walks in to meet the new Pope and Leo just says, "Seize him." Damn, I'd have to be a fan then.
