Pope Francis on Sunday after his traditional Angelus prayer in Rome’s Saint Peter’s Square entreats for an end of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Brothers, stop! Stop! he appealed, saying war is always a defeat and a destruction of human fraternity.
The Bishop of Rome made the plea due to concerns that the Hamas-Israeli confrontation could worsen. He also called for the Gaza Strip to be permitted to receive additional humanitarian aid.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has its roots in a protracted history of conflicting narratives in which both sides assert ownership of the same territory.
On October 7, Hamas Militant (an Islamic resistant movement) invaded Israel killing 1,400 civilians and in retaliation, the Jewish state vowed to destroy the Islamist group, killing over 4,300 Palestine.
Meanwhile, the first international aid truck entered Gaza on Saturday, but UN authorities claimed that the 20 trucks that were allowed to pass were insufficient given the catastrophic humanitarian situation facing 2.4 million people.
Two out of 200 people held hostage by the Militant were released on Friday.
