Chief Rabbis Yisrael Meir Lau and Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron said that in light of the current tensions in the Middle East, Christian leaders could be the bridgehead by which to bring Moslems and Jews to greater mutual understanding. The Rabbis made the remarks during a meeting this week with Cardinal Edward Cassidy, who is about to leave his post as President of the Committee for Dialogue and Conciliation with the Jewish People. HaTzofeh reports that Rabbi Lau mentioned that when he met with the Pope seven years ago, Rabbi Lau \"asked him for his help in bringing back our four missing soldiers from Lebanon. Since then, another four Israelis have been kidnapped.\" He asked the Cardinal to renew his request to the Pope to do all that he could in bringing the Israelis home.
