War has become 'a way of life’ in Holy Land

War in Gaza has become a “way of life,” says a Franciscan priest in the Holy Land.

“The Holy Land has been at war for almost seven months,” said Franciscan Father Ibrahim Faltas, Vicar of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land.

“It is a way of life, or rather an obligation to live the evil of war that no one can get used to,” he told Italian news service Agenzia Fides.

“For years, the international community has turned a deaf ear to the need and possibility of ending hostilities in this tormented Middle East,” he said.
