The Israeli government has forced its representatives around the world to rescind condolences for the passing of Pope Francis. A message from the nation's X account that read 'Rest in Peace, Pope Francis. May his memory be a blessing' was taken down hours after it was posted in Monday, in response to the death of the 88-year-old Pope. Israeli media later reported the nation's embassies and consulates across the globe were told to delete any similar messages, while diplomats were ordered not to sign condolence books in Vatican embassies.
