Pope Francis met with European rabbis in the Vatican but declined to read his prepared speech due to feeling unwell. The Pope expressed his concern over antisemitism, war, and terrorism in his speech. He highlighted recent incidents of antisemitic vandalism in European countries and condemned them. The 86-year-old pontiff has faced health setbacks in recent years, including surgeries and a chronic knee problem. Despite his illness, he is continuing with his scheduled activities, including an encounter with children from around the world.
