People are literally living in sewers and tents. Almost all the schools have been destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFifty-three percent of the [Gaza] Strip where more than 2 million displaced persons live is under direct Israeli control; 47% \u2014 where the majority of Palestinians reside \u2014 is under Hamas control. Eighty percent of the Strip has been destroyed, and reconstruction has not even begun,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that the border crossings are virtually closed. Regarding the Board of Peace initiative promoted by President Donald Trump, the cardinal said: \u201cIt\u2019s not yet operational, and we don\u2019t know if it ever will be. Nor have I yet understood what it intends to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his remarks, the cardinal noted that the situation in the Gaza Strip is also at a standstill because Hamas refuses to hand over its weapons until Israel withdraws, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government refuses to withdraw until the Islamist movement disarms.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the West Bank, he decried that \u201cthere are attacks by settlers against Palestinians \u2014 including Christians \u2014 almost daily.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he said there are Israeli legislative initiatives to re-register land to the detriment of the Palestinian population, and traveling to the area has become more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>More than 200 Christian teachers living in the West Bank city of Bethlehem are no longer able to reach the 15 Christian schools in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are always under constant tension,\u201d the cardinal added, \u201cand the situation remains very complicated for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciprensa.com\/noticias\/123223\/cardenal-pizzaballa-usar-el-nombre-de-dios-para-justificar-las-guerras-es-el-pecado-mas-grave-de-este-tiempo\">was first published <\/a>by ACI Prensa, the Spanish-language sister service of EWTN News.
