Vatican: Pope Francis calls for an end to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. More aid must be brought to Gaza. He also demanded the release of those held hostage by Hamas.
“Every day we should think about the serious situation in Israel and Palestine. I stand with the suffering people of Israel and Palestine. The armed conflict must end. Arms will never bring peace. The conflict should not spread any further..Brothers…Enough!”- Pope X wrote.
Our thoughts turn every day to the very serious situation in Israel and Palestine. I am close to all those who suffer, Palestinians and Israelis. May the weapons be stopped: they will never lead to peace, and may the conflict not widen! Enough! Enough, brothers! Enough!

At the same time, Israel’s fierce attack on Palestine is still continuing. 13 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Khan Yunus. Israel rejects international criticism of Gaza attack Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that there is no need for moral advice.
Every human being, of any people or religion, every human being is sacred, is precious in the eyes of God and has the right to live in peace. Let us not lose hope: let us pray and work tirelessly so that a sense of humanity may prevail over hardness of heart.

Israel also carried out airstrikes against the UN office in Gaza. Many people who took refuge in the UN office were killed. UNDP Administrator Ashim Sattainer said the attack was wrong in every sense.
