🇻🇦❌🇮🇱 — Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa on the ongoing hostilities in Gaza:

It really does seem that our Holy Land, which preserves the highest revelation and manifestation of God, is also the place of the highest manifestation of Satan’s power. And perhaps precisely because it is the place where the heart of salvation history is located, it is also the place where ‘the Ancient Adversary’ tries to assert himself more than anywhere else.

➡️ Last month, Cardinal Pizzaballa visited Gaza after Israel's attack on Gaza's only Catholic Church, and after the visit called Israel's policies in Gaza "unacceptable and morally unjustifiable" and called for an end to the war.

➡️ Cardinal Pizzaballa also announced he witnessed Palestinians facing extreme hunger, and that Palestinians told him they were living off small rations of bred and rice.

This historic gas agreement with Egypt underscores how deeply our neighbor relies on us for energy security.
