Pope Francis condemned Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon as “immoral” and “disproportionate” during his recent trip to Luxembourg and Belgium. He expressed concern over the civilian casualties and destruction caused by the airstrikes, emphasizing the need for proportionate defense in the face of an attack.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has resulted in a high death toll and displacement of thousands of civilians. Pope Francis emphasized the importance of upholding morality, even in times of war, and criticized any actions that go beyond ethical boundaries.
He urged all countries involved in the conflict to respect the rules of war and avoid actions that result in unnecessary suffering and loss of life. Pope Francis’s comments highlight the need for compassion and humanity in the midst of violence and conflict.
