As conflict raged on between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, Pope Francis has called for an end to the ongoing hostilities, emphasising that
The Pope on Sunday at St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican, specifically called for a cessation of attacks in Israel.
According to the Pope, all war is a defeat, urging all of them to pray for peace in Israel and Palestine. However, he refrained from directly mentioning the Gaza Strip or the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which first launched a significant surprise assault on Saturday. “I follow with apprehension and pain what is happening in Israel. I express my solidarity with the families of the victims,” he told crowds after his traditional Angelus prayer.
“I pray for all those who are living through hours of terror and anguish. May the attacks and the weapons cease, I beg you.“Terrorism and war do not lead to a solution, but only to the death and suffering of many innocent people,” the Catholic Pontiff added.
