Pope Benedict XVI visited Israel in May 2009 primarily to promote interfaith dialogue and reconciliation between Christians and Jews. His trip aimed to strengthen the Catholic Church's relationship with Judaism and to acknowledge the historical suffering of the Jewish people, particularly in light of the Holocaust. Additionally, the visit sought to reaffirm the Church's commitment to peace in the Holy Land and to address ongoing conflicts in the region.
