"Israeli Embassy Objects to Vatican's Gaza Remarks, Calls for End to Carnage"

Israel toned down its criticism of the Vatican's remarks on the Gaza conflict, changing its description of Cardinal Pietro Parolin's comments from "deplorable" to "regrettable." The Israeli embassy attributed the change to an imprecise translation and emphasized the historical and cultural sensitivities surrounding any comments involving Israel. Tensions between the Vatican and Israel have heightened since the conflict began, with Jewish groups accusing Pope Francis of not characterizing the invasion of Gaza as an act of self-defense.

"Israeli Embassy Protests Vatican's Gaza 'Carnage' Denouncement"

Israel has lodged a formal complaint after Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state, criticized the Israeli military operation in Gaza as "carnage" and disproportionate following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks. The Israeli Embassy to the Holy See called Parolin's comments "regrettable" and accused him of not considering relevant facts. The Vatican has stood by its position, with the Vatican newspaper's editorial director doubling down on the criticism and quoting a Holocaust survivor critical of Israel's response.
