He was outraged that the police wanted to enter the church with him.
“Everyone knows the rules. I don’t like what you did in front of me. Go outside please,” Macron said.
“Nobody wanted to provoke anyone. Please respect the rules that have been practiced for centuries. Everyone will respect the rules. Please.”
However, it should be noted that Jerusalem police officers are stationed inside the church.
