Among the hostages released in early December from the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict are the daughter and wife of Moshe Leimberg, one of the family members of those kidnapped by Hamas who met with Pope Francis on November 22.
In a meeting with the press, Moshe said his life had changed radically since October 7. He recounted how in the mornings he waited to hear the voice of his daughter and wife and, almost 50 days later, that moment hadn't come.
MOSHE LEIMBERG
I'm sorry, I can't have faith. I'm hoping for the best but until I see them, until I hold them, I can't.
During the meeting, Moshe shook Pope Francis' hand but his pain was clear. Now, with his wife and daughter released, it is hoped that his life may return to normal.
