It's the Gist.

Headline Washington Post, Pope Francis's final gifts to the children of Gaza, his Popemobile.

That'll do it.

That'll solve the problem.

Now, as you know, Gaza has been experiencing a tremendous amount of not just war, but privation since March 2nd.

Israel shut all crossings to Gaza, preventing all food from getting in.

There are supplies.

They have basically dwindled, according to the UN's World Food Program and

Unra. So enter the Popemobile. You can't eat it. Actually, don't enter the Popemobile.

All sides acknowledge this is more of a, oh, let us say, aspirational gift. We know the time is not

right for the Popemobile to get in there and fix things

in Gaza, maybe for Hamas to steal the Popemobile, hope it's narrow enough for the tunnels.

You know, during some of the negotiations between Hamas and the Israelis, there were big sticking

points. Will you return the body? Should we shut down the Philadelphia corridor?

And also, who gets custody of the Pope mobile? The new Pope, whoever he is, might get a little mad at this gift. You gave away the Popemobile? How am I supposed to get anywhere? Uber?

But in all seriousness, this Pope Mobile, and there are many, many a Popemobile. This one's essentially a Mitsubishi,

which is combined a little bit with a golf cart and has some Plexiglass in the front so that the

Pope doesn't get or didn't get shot. That might not be enough for IDF munitions in Gaza.

Now the Pope Mobile, actually this Pope Mobile, they're like Air Force One's or the Dread Pirate Roberts.

They take on the personality of who's ever in them at the time.
