Der Engelsgesang wirke »schief nach einem Jahr voller Blutvergießen und zerstörten Hoffnungen«: Der höchste Vertreter der katholischen Kirche bekundet während der Christmesse in Betlehem Solidarität mit den Palästinensern.
The article highlights Kardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa's expression of sympathy and solidarity with the Palestinians during the Christmas Eve mass in Bethlehem. This act comes amidst the devastating Gazan war, which has resulted in significant casualties and exacerbated the already dire situation for both Palestinians and Israeli hostages.
The article emphasizes the connection between the message of Christmas hope and the very real suffering in the region. It shows how Pizzaballa's message offers a symbolic glimmer of hope in the face of "total destruction", as the Cardinal himself put it.
