“I urge all people of goodwill to search for peace and reject war,” Pope Leo said, emphasizing the human cost of targeting civilians, including children, the elderly, and the sick. Speaking from Castel Gandolfo, he reminded the world that attacks on civilian infrastructure violate international law and only fuel hatred and conflict.
The Pope’s message was clear: leaders must return to the negotiation table and work for solutions that avoid unnecessary suffering. He encouraged citizens everywhere to contact their political leaders, urging them to prioritize peace over war.
Donald Trump has not publicly responded to the Pope’s statement.
