This Monday, Pope Francis, in his Christmas message, which he read from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, called for an end to military operations in Gaza, the release of hostages and a solution to the Palestinian question.
In this Christmas message, in which he listed the world’s conflicts, Pope Francis called for peace “to come to Israel and Palestine, where war is shaking the lives of these populations” and added: “I support both, in particular the Christian communities of Gaza, the parish of Gaza and the whole Holy Land.”
The Catholic Church leader said he carried “pain in my heart for the victims of the horrific October 7 attack,” without mentioning the Palestinian Islamic group Hamas, and renewed his call “for the release of those still held hostage.” “.
