"Every day at seven in the afternoon I call the parish of Gaza. Six hundred people live there and they tell what they see: it's a war. And the war is made by two people, not one. The irresponsible ones are these two who make the war. Then there's not only the military war, there is the 'guerrilla war', so to speak, of Hamas, a movement that is not an army. It's a bad thing."
Pope Francis says this in an interview with Swiss Radio and Television broadcast on March 20th and of which a preview was given.
However, when asked whether we should not lose hope of trying to mediate, he replies: "Let's look at history, the wars we have experienced, they all end with an agreement".
