Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Pope Leo XIV on Friday after Israel’s deadly attack on the Church of the Holy Family in Gaza that killed three people and wounded 10 others, according to the Vatican.
“During the meeting, the Holy Father renewed his appeals for renewed impetus to negotiations and for a ceasefire and an end to the war.
