Pope Leo appeals for Israel to allow humanitarian aid in Gaza

According to the report, Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday appealed for Israel to allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, calling the situation in the Palestinian enclave yet more worrying and saddening. The Pope said: I renew my fervent appeal to allow for the entry of fair humanitarian help and to bring to an end the hostilities, the devastating price of which is paid by children, the elderly, and the sick.

The report said that the appeal came at the end of the pope's audience, when he added a few words to his prepared text. The pope, who U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday had expressed interest in hosting Russia-Ukraine peace talks, did not mention that conflict.

The report also stated that Israel said on Monday that it would allow aid to enter Gaza after an 11-week blockade on the enclave, but the United Nations said no help had been distributed as of Tuesday. Israel has said its blockade is aimed in part at preventing Palestinian militants from diverting and seizing aid supplies. Hamas has denied doing so.

I won't even support the pope on this. He should just mind his business of governing the catholic church.

It is crucial for Israel if the Gazans are given freedom to accept the humanitarian aids. The aid will only fall into the hands of the Hamas terrorists.

Pope is an international figure and a leader of over 1.4 billion Christians. I think that gives him the privilege to appeal for peace! He is doing the right thing.

Should I talk on this? Israel should not consider any peace with Hamas. They can't be trusted at all.
