Pope Francis today requested the cessation of military operations in Gazathe release of the hostages and that the Palestinian issue is confronted, in his Christmas message.
In this message, in which Pope Francis lists the conflicts in the world, he asked May peace “come to Israel and Palestine, where war is shaking the lives of these people groups” and added: “I embrace both, especially the Christian communities of Gaza, the parish of Gaza and the entire Holy Land.”
The Pope has assured that he “carries in his heart the pain for the victims of the horrific attack of October 7 last year,” even though he has not mentioned Hamas, and has renewed his call “for the release of those still held hostage“.
On the other hand, he has urged “that violence and hatred should not continue to be fomented, but that a solution to the Palestinian issue be found, through a sincere and persistent dialogue between the parties, supported by strong political will and the support from the Palestinian Authority.” international community”.
