The Pope has reiterated this Sunday his call for peace in the face of the escalation of violence in the Middle East, warning of the impossibility of “remaining silent in the face of the suffering of so many defenseless people, victims of these conflicts.”
After the Angelus prayer in Saint Peter's Square, the Pontiff has highlighted the human impact of wars, stating that "what wounds them, lacerates all humanity. The death and pain caused by these wars are a scandal for the entire human family and a cry before God", in reference to the victims of the conflicts.
Likewise, Leo XIV has pointed out that "follows with sadness" l the evolution of the situation in the Middle East, as well as in "other parts of the world devastated by war and violence", and has demanded that "hostilities cease and paths of peace finally open" based "on sincere dialogue and respect for the dignity of every human person".
