Foreign Aid Continues as Ship Loaded with 200 Tons of Food Sets Sail to Gaza | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In the Middle East, an aid ship loaded with around 200 tons of food has set sail from Cyprus to Gaza. This is seen as a test of a sea corridor to use to supply further aid to the territory. The United States along with other nations have kept up air drops of aid as hunger is worsening in the region. The war, now into its fifth month has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians and pushed hundreds of thousands to starvation. This comes as the Vatican has increased its call for an end to the war. The Vatican's Secretary of Relations with States, met with the Jordanian Foreign Minister on Monday. During a joint news conference Archbishop Paul Gallagher said the Vatican supports efforts of the United Nations to bring relief to Gaza. He also added that Pope Francis believes the conflict must end and has asked that churches and civilians be spared. Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East, Simone Ledeen, joins to share whether Israeli military operations in Rafah will cause a shift in US policy. She tells us what it would shift to. In terms of the Biden-Netanyahu relationship, Ledeen discusses whether she is concerned that it's so tense. She explains how Ramadan might factor into the current state of the war and Netanyahu's approach of it all. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
