Pope Francis again called for peace and emphasized that his thoughts are with the children who died recently in the Israeli strikes in Gaza. The appeal was made during his sermon for the Feast of All Saints, the Italian news agency ANSA reported, as quoted by BTA.

„Let us pray for the tortured Ukraine, for Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, South Sudan and for all peoples who suffer from wars,“ declared Pope Francis.

„Brothers and sisters, war is always defeat. It is vile because it represents the triumph of falsehood and falsehood. A person seeks maximum interest for himself and strives to inflict maximum damage on the opponent, trampling human life, the environment, infrastructure — all, and by lying,” said the Pope.

„Innocents suffer – I mean the 153 women and children who died in the last few days in Gaza,” he added.
