Papal Gaza 'concentration camp' row

Jan 8 - Relations between the Vatican and Israel have taken a dive after the Jewish state condemned one of the Pope's aides for calling Gaza "a big concentration camp".

Israel criticised Cardinal Renato Martino as the pope delivered a speech to diplomats in which he spoke out against the use of violence by both Israel and Hamas Islamists in Gaza.

On Wednesday, Martino, president of the Vatican's Council for Justice and Peace, delivered the Vatican's toughest criticism of Israel since its offensive in the Palestinian-ruled enclave, calling Gaza a "big concentration camp".
