Pope Francis vowed to work towards securing the release of four Israelis being held hostage by the Hamas terror group in Gaza.
“The Pope promised to work with governments and religious leaders, including Muslim leaders, to bring back the sons,” said a statement by the Israeli Foreign Ministry after the pontiff hosted the families of the captives at the Vatican, taking the time to speak with each of the family members individually.
The move was an attempt to secure a prisoner deal. “We are giving the occupation a limited period of time to complete a prisoner deal,” Hamas head Yahya Sinwar declared to a raucous crowd after the rifle was presented. Goldin’s mother, Leah, was interviewed after the visit on Radio 103FM and called it “a meeting we had dreamed of.”
