Pope Francis Urges Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas

Pope Francis, recovering from bronchitis, has made a heartfelt plea for an immediate cessation of the hostilities between Israel and Hamas.

He questioned the possibility of achieving peace through violence during the Angelus prayer in Rome, emphasizing the devastating impact of the conflict, especially on children, and calling for the release of hostages from the October Hamas raid.

Despite the 87-year-old pope's recent health setbacks, including missing a climate conference and struggling through a speech in January, his message was delivered with clarity and urgency: "Enough, please! Stop!"
