Two far right-wing Israelis plan to press criminal charges Benedict when he visits Israel over Vatican treasures they claim were plundered from Jewish people over the centuries.
US-born Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben Gvir have named Benedict as a leading defendant in a criminal complaint they plan to file before a court in occupied Jerusalem on Monday.
The two accuse the pontiff and other top Roman Catholic officials of receiving and possessing stolen goods.
The complaint lists treasure allegedly plundered from the Jewish people and held in the Vatican, including a golden Menorah looted from the Jerusalem Temple by Roman troops under general Titus, who played a major role in the destruction of the temple in 70 AD.
It also mentions that Jewish religious documents, as well as thousands of works of philosophy and science allegedly stolen on various occasions hundreds of years later, are held in the Vatican library.
The two chief rabbis of Israel Yonah Metzger and Shlomo Amar are listed among the witnesses.
