In a phone call with the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem yesterday, French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his “deep concern” about the “tragic situation” of Catholic Christians in the Gaza Strip, where a woman and her parishioner’s daughter were killed “in an unjust manner” on December 16 by an Israeli soldier, according to Agence France-Presse.
The Elysee Palace said in a statement that Macron expressed to Cardinal Pierre-Battista Pizzabella in the call that took place on Christmas Eve, his “deep concern about the tragic situation of the Latin parish in Gaza,” where “hundreds of civilians of all religions have been living under bombs and bullets for more than two months.”
He offered his “condolences for the unjust killing of two parishioners a few days ago.”
