Jerusalem, 10 November, 2025 (TPS-IL) — A delegation of Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze students from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv University, and Georgetown University met this week with Pope Leo XIV and senior Vatican officials to promote dialogue and reconciliation. The meeting was part of “Middle Meets,” a program founded by the Hebrew University’s Entrepreneurship Club in the Humanities, which fosters open discussions on conflict and coexistence.
Held in collaboration with the Vatican’s Scholas Occurrentes network, the visit emphasized the students’ shared commitment to building trust and hope across divides and reaffirmed the initiative’s mission to strengthen interfaith understanding even in times of conflict.
