Pope Francis Urges Release of Hamas Hostages, End of Conflict in Israel and Palestine
After his Angelus on Sept. 15, Pope Francis appealed for the release of the remaining Hamas hostages and said he is praying for the victims and their families.

The Pope says he continues ‘to be close to all of the families of the hostages,’ as he recalled meeting Rachel, the mother of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose body was recovered last month. The Holy Father also spoke of who Christ is: ‘Everything changes if you have truly come to know Jesus!’
