The pope accepted Israeli war criminal's invitation "with willingness and joy"

" "I am expecting you in Jerusalem, not just me but the whole country of Israel," Peres told the pope in the presence of reporters after the talks. The pope accepted the invitation "with willingness and joy", a Vatican spokesman said, but there was no indication when a trip would be made." "Francis, the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina, has focused on building up relations with Jewish leaders and, when he was archbishop, wrote a book with an Argentine rabbi, Abraham Skorka."
