Apelul Papei Leon al XIV-lea pentru Israel și Gaza: Comunitatea internațională să acționeze

Pope Leo XIV urged the international community to promote a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to stop violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. His appeal followed a prayer at the papal residence, highlighting the urgent need for peace. The Pope specifically mentioned the situation in Qusra, where Israeli settlers have reportedly surrounded homes. The Vatican has long supported the establishment of a Palestinian state, with over 150 UN member states recognizing Palestine. The Israeli government continues to expand settlements in the West Bank, which are deemed illegal under international law.
