Pope decries Gaza ship violence
Pope Benedict XVI says he is anxiously following the news about the deadly Israeli raid on aid ships for the Gaza Strip and worries about its consequences for Middle East peace.
Benedict on Wednesday told pilgrims in St. Peter's Square that violence will generate more violence and have "dramatic consequences." He is calling for dialogue and urging authorities to guarantee better conditions of life for the Palestinians who live in the blockaded, Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. (AP)
