.EnesFreedom talks Israel and Vatican basketball camps during religious freedom event
Freedom said he started a basketball camp at the Vatican two weeks ago, following a meeting with Pope Francis, which marked the second foreign basketball camp for the sports star."At the Vatican about two weeks ago, I had an incredible meeting with the pope," Freedom said during an International Religious Freedom event on Monday."Then, we organized a basketball camp, and it was unbelievable.
"I came up with this crazy idea to go to Israel and organize this basketball camp. I said, 'Let's bring these Israelis, Palestinians, Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, and let's play basketball,'" Freedom said."Forget about the conflict, forget the war, forget about everything that's going on and just play basketball."
One girl from Europe did not originally want to go to a basketball camp in Israel, Freedom said. But after playing at the camp for one week, the girl apologized for not seeing the unity in the sport. Freedom's address fell during the International Religious Freedom's Congressional Advocacy Day, which occurred the day before a two-day International Religious Freedom summit.
