(Catholic World News) — The editorial director of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication condemned a proposal to relocate Gaza’s population, describing it as “a kind of new order in which, however, there seems to be no place for the Palestinian people.”
After condemning the “inhuman act of terrorism” perpetrated by Hamas, Andrea Tornielli described Israel’s reaction as “disproportionate,” “going well beyond any ethically acceptable limit.”
Tornielli denounced “’voluntary evacuations,’ that is, forced displacement; total destruction; endless deaths; hospitals struck; daily killings of those standing in line for a crust of bread; [and] the blocking of any clear political horizon that would give the Palestinian people dignity and a home in their own land.”
