Pope Francis appeals for an end to the war between Hamas and Israel.
– War is always a defeat, it is the destruction of human brotherhood. Brothers, stop! Stop!, the Pope urged in his Angelus prayer in Rome on Sunday
The 86-year-old pope repeated earlier calls for humanitarian aid to Gaza and for Hamas to release the hostages taken in the October 7 attack on Israel. During the day, according to the Vatican, the Pope had a conversation with US President Joe Biden.
