Recovering the Last Hostage in Gaza

In the past several weeks, Ran’s fate and heroism were discussed daily across Israeli media.  I feel like I knew him. Perhaps it was fitting that he was the last hostage to be rescued. 

I agree with Pope Leo about Gaza

Leo cleverly connected the story of Jesus being born in a manger to draw a metaphor that God had “pitched his fragile tent” among the people of the world. Then, speaking of tents, he took his metaphor further, saying, “How, then, can we not think of the tents in Gaza, exposed for weeks to rain, wind and cold?”
