Originally published in Crux

Pope Francis meets with friends Bassam Aramin, who is Palestinian, and Rami Elhanan, who is Israeli, at the Vatican prior to his general audience on March 27, 2024. Both are fathers who have lost daughters amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

These members won’t give up on peace.

We hope you’ll join them. Your gift supports their work across the U.S.
