“I am ready for an exchange, for anything, if it leads to freedom, to the return of children home. No problem. There is full readiness on my part,” said Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa.

According to recent reports, about 200 people were taken hostage by Hamas militants, about a dozen of them, presumably, children.
