Pope Francis said that he’s very worried by the total siege of Gaza by Israel, APA reports citing Reuters.
He called for the release of all hostages taken by Hamas militants and said Israel has a right to defend itself.
"I continue to follow, with pain and apprehension, what is happening in Israel and Palestine. So many people killed, and others wounded. I pray for those families who saw a feast day turn into a day of mourning, and I ask that the hostages be immediately released," he said.
"It is the right of those who are attacked to defend themselves, but I am very worried by the total siege in which Palestinians live in Gaza, where there have also been many innocent victims," Pope added.
