On Sunday afternoon, Pope Francis spoke on the phone with US President Joe Biden for 20 minutes. The Holy See’s press office revealed that the two leaders exchanged their thoughts “on the conflict situation in the world and the need to identify paths to peace”.
Pope Francis renewed his appeal for peace and moderation in reference to the war in the Holy Land during the Trident of Prayer on Sunday and expressed his deep regret for the victims of the war and their families. The Pope condemned the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza and conflicts such as Russia’s war in Ukraine. The Pope emphasized that “war is always a failure” and a destructive force against human brotherhood. A recent visit by President Biden to intervene in humanitarian aid to Gaza was also mentioned in the conversation between the two. However, this limited assistance is insufficient to address the wider needs of the region.
President Biden and Pope Francis discussed the urgency of peace in a 20-minute phone call on Sunday. They spoke about the global conflict situation and the critical need to find pathways to peace.
