Pope Francis has urged the international community to investigate whether Israel’s military actions in Gaza may constitute genocide. In a forthcoming book, the pontiff emphasized that experts have raised concerns about Gaza’s situation, suggesting it could meet the legal definition of genocide.
Pope Francis has called on the international community to investigate whether Israel's military actions in Gaza could be considered genocide. In excerpts from an upcoming book, the pontiff expressed concern that the situation in Gaza may exhibit characteristics of genocide, according to some experts. He emphasized the need for a careful, thorough investigation to determine if these actions fit the legal definition of genocide as outlined by international law.
The Pope, known for his cautious approach to global conflicts, has typically avoided taking sides in such matters, advocating for de-escalation and peace. However, in recent months, he has become more vocal in his criticism of Israel’s conduct in the ongoing war against Hamas. This shift marks some of his most direct comments on the conflict, as he continues to call for a peaceful resolution and respect for human dignity on all sides.
