Pope Francis Says Praying for ‘Swift’ End to Gaza War
The Pope wrote to Seyyed Abolhasan Navvab, the chancellor of Iran's University of Religions and Denominations, in reply to his previous letter that denounced the Israeli attacks on a hospital and a church in Gaza in October.
The Pope said he was deeply saddened by the "tragic events" that had affected the Christian community in Gaza and all the people of the city.
He said he was praying for the thousands of innocent civilians who were suffering the consequences of the war.
He also thanked Navvab for his solidarity with the Christians in Gaza and his efforts to promote interreligious dialogue and peace.
