FILE - This Tuesday, March 15, 2011 file photo shows the newly elected Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai shortly after his election at the church's seat in Bkirki, northeast of Beirut, Lebanon. A planned visit by the leader of Lebanon's largest church to Jerusalem later this month has led to a controversy in this tiny Arab country that Israel invaded in the past and occupied parts of it for more than a decade. Rai, head of the Maronite Catholic church throughout the region, will be the first leader of the Middle Eastern church to visit the Holy Land since Israel was created in 1948.

Lebanon bans its citizens from visiting Israel or having contact with Israelis. (AP Photo/Bilal Hussein, File)
