Hamas is evil for Pope Francis, the
relatives of some of the Israeli hostages held by the Islamist
terror group since their horrific October 7 attack said after
meeting the Argentine pontiff Monday.
"The meeting with the Pope was very emotional: his solidarity
was clear. He said that he is in contact with the Catholic
Church in Gaza and that he is working with its channels to free
the hostages. He called Hamas evil, bad people," said the
relatives.
"We could not have hoped that he would spend so much time with
us.
"He was very warm and told us that he will do everything
possible, with the countries linked to the Vatican, to get the
hostages home, as if it were an international mission".
The relatives were from five families, representing the Bibas
family (Shiri, Yarden, Ariel and Kfir); omri Miran; Agam Berger;
Guy Bilboa Dalal; and Tamir Nimrodi.
