Fox News
Tensions were high during a Vatican press conference where families of Israeli hostages clashed with the press over "false equivalence" between Israel and Hamas.
"Here we’ve gone beyond war. This isn’t war anymore, this is terrorism," Pope Francis told the crowd ahead of the meeting. "Please, let us go ahead with peace. Pray for peace, pray a lot for peace."

Tensions became heightened when a reporter quoted Pope Francis' remarks, telling the families at the press conference, "So [Pope Francis] was equivocating. He didn't say one side was practicing terrorism. He obviously implied that both sides were."
