ROME – Having already warned of “many steps backward” in Catholic-Jewish relations as a result of contrasting reactions to Israel’s war with Hamas, the Chief Rabbi of Rome has used a new interview to express “great disappointment” with the way the Vatican has responded to the crisis in Gaza.
“The Jewish community, and not only , is very disappointed, yes,” said Rabbi Riccardo di Segni in a 22 January interview with the Italian newspaper Il Giornale.
“There’s great disappointment,” di Segni said. “I hope that it’s understood, and that the crisis will be resolved.”
