The first time he spoke to Pope Francis during the pontiff’s nightly calls to the Holy Family Catholic church in Gaza City, the congregant George Antone, 44, found himself at a loss for words. It was October 2023, a few weeks after Hamas ignited a devastating war in the Gaza Strip by attacking Israel.
