“Let us not resign ourselves to war”: Pope urges peace in Middle East, Ukraine and Myanmar

Pope Francis reiterated a call for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine and Myanmar on Sunday, during his weekly blessing in St. Peter’s Square, Vatican City on Sunday.

“Peace is possible, good will is needed,” the leader of the Catholic Church said in front of a crowd of thousands, adding “Let us not resign ourselves to war.”

The Vatican has previously offered to mediate in both the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and Gaza.

The Pope reminded listeners of his closeness with the people of Myanmar, where military forces — which seized power of the country in a 2021 coup — are battling a coordinated offensive launched in October by an opposing alliance of three ethnic minority insurgent groups.
