CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis met on August 26 with Rami Elhalan and Bassim Aramin, an Israeli father and a Palestinian father whose daughters were killed by a suicide bomber (1997) and an Israeli soldier (2007).
The two, who have become friends and peace advocates, were joined by Colum McCann, an Irish author who wrote a novel based on their stories. The editor of the Vatican publishing house was also present at the audience.
The Pope had earlier met with Rami and Bassam in March.
