Latin Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the top Catholic clergyman in the Holy Land, told reporters at St. Joseph Hospital in Jerusalem on Monday that the police beating mourners as they carried Shireen Abu Akleh's her casket was a disproportionate use of force that “disrespected” the Catholic Church. He added that Israel committed a “severe violation” of international norms. (AP Photo/Maya Levin, File)
