Turin, Dec. 21 (LaPresse) – ‘Contrary to the false accusations published today in the media, the request of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, to enter Gaza has been granted, as in the past and according to his preferences’. This was stated on X by the Embassy of Israel to the Holy See. This morning, Pope Francis had declared in his speech to the Roman Curia that the Patriarch had not been allowed to enter Gaza.
