Pizzaballa: humble priest in warring Middle East

Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, navigates the complex Israel-Hamas conflict while striving to maintain relations with both sides. Living in Jerusalem since 1990, the Italian-born cardinal has emphasized peace, reconciliation, and dialogue. Despite challenges and the marginalization of Christians, Pizzaballa remains committed, visiting Gaza to support the Christian community and pledging to rebuild after the war.
