Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Pope Leo today, the Vatican announced, one day after an Israeli strike on Gaza’s only Catholic church.

According to a Vatican statement, the pope reiterated his call for a ceasefire and an end to Israel's brutal war on Gaza, voicing deep concern over the "dramatic" humanitarian conditions in the Palestinian enclave.

"Finally, His Holiness reiterated the urgent need to protect places of worship and, especially, the faithful and all people in Palestine and Israel."
