Gaza, Pizzaballa: ‘I hope for a change of leadership for Israel and Palestine’

Rome, 15 October (LaPresse) – "A change in leadership for both Israel and Palestine? It is desirable, but it will take time. It is necessary in order to have new prospects for the future. We need new faces, but it will not happen immediately. This applies to both politicians and religious leaders." These were the words of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, on the sidelines of the Silvestrini Award ceremony in Rome.
