Israeli attack on Gaza flotilla provokes more violence, says Pope From The Hindu
Pope Benedict was speaking ahead of his visit on Friday to Cyprus, the Mediterranean island nation from which the ill-fated flotilla carrying aid for the blockaded Gaza Strip had set sail.
A working document which is expected to criticise the ongoing Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, will be presented by the pontiff in Cyprus in preparation for a synod assembly of bishops from the Middle East region slated for October.
The Vatican has repeatedly denounced worsening economic conditions in the Palestinian territories, saying they are also contributing to an exodus of Christians from the area.
