Hopefully Iran Will Not End Up in More Violence – Cardinal Pizzaballa
No one, he added, can deny the desire for life, dignity, and justice that is part of the identity of every person.
Israeli Attacks Sow Death despite "Ceasefire" in Gaza
His Patriarchate covers different countries with different dynamics, Cardinal Pizzaballa explained: “Our diocese is complicated.”
The situation in Gaza remains one of “total devastation”.
Despite the declaration of a ceasefire in October and the consequent halt to blanket bombing of the Strip, targeted Israeli attacks continue to sow death and destruction: “People keep dying, not only because of the cold, but also because of a lack of medicines, including antibiotics.”
In the West Bank, permits are denied, movement is severely restricted, and settler attacks affect “the most basic aspects of community life”.
Holy Land Absolutely Safe for Pilgrims
Cardinal Pizzaballa encouraged Christians to resume their pilgrimages to the Holy Land, which he insisted is “absolutely safe”.
