At the end of the Angelus, Pope Leo XIV expresses concern over the persisting and worsening violence in the Holy Land, which has also claimed many civilian victims in the West Bank and Gaza, and calls for a return to negotiations for a fair political solution based on the equal dignity and equal rights of every person, rejecting new military actions and unilateral decisions, particularly those that violate the status quo of the holy places of every faith. He renews his appeal for the entire Middle East, urging all parties to suspend attacks and urgently reopen space for dialogue and diplomacy.
