Condemning Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Pope Francis has also been vocal in his criticism of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He has called for an end to violence on both sides, urging for peaceful negotiations and a just solution that respects the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians.
Calling for the Release of Prisoners
