Pope Francis has told an Israeli
journalist that he fears some of his Argentine friends are among
the victims of Hamas's attack on Israel.
The journalist, Enrique Cymerman, posted on social media a video
of the telephone conversation he had with the pontiff on
Saturday.
In it Cymerman, who is also a friend of the pope's, said that
many Argentines were among the dead, the wounded, and those
taken hostage by Hamas.
"I know, I know," the pope replied.
"I think that surely some of my friends are among them".
Francis also said he was willing to meet the families of the
Israeli-Argentine hostages.
