ROME (ITALPRESS) – During his audience with the Roman Curia for Christmas greetings, Pope Francis disclosed that the Israeli authorities have denied access to Gaza to the Patriarch of Jerusalem of the Latins, Cardinal Pierluigi Pizzaballa. “Yesterday the cardinal was not allowed to enter Gaza, as they had promised him,” the Holy Father stressed. “And children were bombed. This is cruelty, this is not war. I want to say this because it touches the heart.”-Ipa photo -(ITALPRESS).
