'No influence'

Ahmad, street vendor, 50, Bethlehem, Muslim:

"We like the Pope. But he's not political, he's religious. He can't influence the US government or the Israeli government.

"He spoke about Gaza a bit, but we would be happier if he had visited the people there and seen what is happening to them."
