The risk to Pope Francis will be non-existent.

YOU CAN BET that the Israeli military, every single soldier, pilot, gunner, whatever, will be there protecting him. The Pope won't be able to stub his TOE, even if he WANTED to.

THEN there will be the Israeli Secret Police protecting him, making sure than every single Muslim, male or female, from age nine-39 years old, within 500 k, has been escorted OUTTA DODGE for His Holiness' visit.

I can imagine the head of Israeli security saying to his men:

NOTHING will happen to the Pope on MY watch.

Lol. Yep. I can just picture him quietly saying: "Nothing, absolutely nothing will happen to the Pope, not even a toe-stub, while he is here."

Would really help if he would get back in his bullet proof Pope mobile. But he will not be using it on the Middle East trip. Fool-hearted to say the least. He’s not going to be in Rome, he’s going to be in area of the world were Christians are despised. Pray for the Pope’s safe return.
