In a final message, Pope Francis has urged all believers to unite in prayer for peace in the Middle East, underscoring the importance of seeking peaceful solutions and avoiding further suffering for the population affected by the conflict.
The Pope’s call comes at a critical moment, with the region mired in an escalation of violence and tensions that threaten to unleash a conflict of even greater proportions.
