00:10 >> I'm not counting hostages being freed in this deal until I see them walk
00:24 over the border and be embraced safely.
00:28 And then, God willing, these 50 hostages are released,
00:32 that still leaves another 190 hostages that need to be released.
00:39 And in the meantime, we would like the International Red Cross or
00:43 any other humanitarian aid organization on planet Earth to go and
00:48 see every single hostage and let us know, are they alive?
00:55 Have they been treated?
00:56 Are they getting the care that they need?
00:59 And we feel that the Holy Father has the influence in the world
01:04 to make those things happen.
01:06 And I felt very embraced by him this morning.
01:10 I felt very heard and respected.
01:13 It was shorter than we wanted, and it was painful for
01:17 people who didn't get to speak.
01:19 But I felt his love and his support.
01:23 And I believe that he will do everything he can do to help us.

01:29 >> Thank you for being here.
01:30 >> I want to say thank you for his time, even if brief,
01:35 for meeting us and listening to us.
01:40 Even the few person who spoke,
01:43 they delivered the message of our delegation.
01:48 And the message of the others who couldn't come all the way to Italy.
01:54 His time is precious.
01:56 And we are very grateful and thankful for him listening to us.
02:01 And we are sure that he has done things before the meeting and
02:06 he is doing currently.
02:07 And he will do in the future things that will help us and our families.
02:13 We are all against the war.
02:17 We do not want innocent to be injured or
02:22 hurt or be murdered in any side.

02:56 >> Directly from Gaza.
03:01 >> We were humbled by the visit to His Holiness Pope Francis and
03:06 his sympathy and understanding of the situation in Gaza.
03:13 He started his meeting sharing with us his well-informed background.
03:20 Especially the news updates that he gets in a regular basis,
03:25 which shows you how humble is this Holy Father from his parish in Gaza Strip.
03:32 >> It's an experience that even if we talk about it to you now,
03:36 you won't really understand it unless you're actually living it.
03:42 Maybe it's easy to talk about it or you can see it on the TV or any channel.
03:48 But living that experience of walking the, what's supposed to be a safe corridor,
03:54 is not a safe corridor, cuz you're walking while bombs are always
03:59 sounding, you don't actually know where they are.
