Vatican Foreign Minister Cardinal Pietro Parolin stated today that "the priority of the Vatican is to secure the release of hostages held by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)" and that he is ready for "any necessary mediation." He described the attack launched by Hamas on Saturday as "inhumane." He added, referring to Israel's reaction, that "even legitimate self-defense must respect the standards of proportionality."
