Newsroom, Oct 15, 2025 \/ 17:51 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n<p>Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa has given an update on the status of Christians in Gaza after\u00a0the first phase of the historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas began this week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in daily contact with them,\u201d the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem said of the Catholic community in Gaza in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/en\/church\/news\/2025-10\/cardinal-pizzaballa-patriarch-jerusalem-interview-holy-land-peac.html\" target=\"null\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Vatican News interview<\/a>. \u201cThey keep writing that they still cannot believe they were able to sleep through the night without hearing the sound of bombs.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the promising outcome of the first phase of the peace deal, which saw the return of Israeli hostages and the strategic withdrawal of IDF troops from Gaza, Pizzaballa emphasized that the situation in Gaza \u201cremains very fluid.\u201d Amid de-escalation between Israel and Hamas forces, clashes among warring factions have broken out across Gaza. Furthermore, he said, \u201cwe still do not know if [the war] has truly ended,\u201d and the way forward is not yet clear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation remains dramatic because everything is destroyed,\u201d he explained. \u201cPeople are returning, but they are returning to the ruins. Hospitals are not functioning; schools do not exist. There is still the matter of the bodies of the deceased Israeli hostages that must be recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, despite all this, there is a new atmosphere \u2014 still fragile, but we hope it will become more stable,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the conflict, Pizzaballa said Catholics in the region have \u201cfelt the closeness\u201d of both Pope Leo XIV and Pope Francis. \u201cThey have different personalities, but both expressed their closeness in very concrete ways,\u201d he said, noting both pontiffs had made a habit of frequent phone calls and contact with Father Gabriel Romanelli of Holy Family Parish in Gaza, in addition to concrete aid. Pope Leo sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/267123\/pope-leo-xiv-sends-antibiotics-to-children-in-gaza\" target=\"null\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">antibiotics into Gaza<\/a> this week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The cardinal said, \u201cwe must not confuse hope with a solution to the conflict,\u201d while discussing how the region must move forward. \u201cThe end of the war is not the beginning of peace, nor is it the end of the conflict,\u201d he said. Rather, fraternity must be built throughout the region, with new political and religious leadership \u201cwho can help rebuild a different narrative, one based on mutual respect.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While Pizzaballa said he did not know whether a two-state solution \u201cis achievable in the short term,\u201d he emphasized the need for Palestinians to not only be helped and supported financially, but to be \u201crecognized in their dignity as a people.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne cannot tell the Palestinians that they have no right to be recognized as a people in their own land,\u201d he said. \u201cThere have been declarations \u2014 often only theoretical \u2014 that must find concrete realization within the context of dialogue between the parties, which they themselves will have to reach, with the help and support of the international community.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/267163\/latin-patriarch-of-jerusalem-speaks-about-first-phase-of-peace-deal\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/267163\/latin-patriarch-of-jerusalem-speaks-about-first-phase-of-peace-deal<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Pierbattista Pizzaballa (L) and a members of a Christian visit the Saint Porphyrius Church in Gaza City on July 18, 2025. \/ Credit: OMAR AL-QATTAA\/AFP via Getty Images Washington, D.C.
