Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the pope"has a bit of a cold and a long day of audiences.'' The 86-year-old pontiff ”preferred to greet the European rabbis individually, and that's why he handed over his speech." In his prepared speech to the rabbis, Francis said his first thought and prayers goes “above all else, to everything that has happened in the last few weeks," a clear reference to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in Israel, including the taking away of hostages to the Gaza Strip, and the ensuring Israeli-Hamas war.
With France, Austria and Italy among the countries in Europe recently seeing a spate of antisemitic vandalism and slogans, Francis added: “The spread of antisemitic demonstrations, which I strongly condemn, is also of great concern.”
