Pope Leo Calls for Ban on Aerial Strikes in Conflict

Pope Leo has made a strong statement against aerial military strikes in the context of the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war, which has now entered its fourth week. He criticized the use of aerial bombardment, calling for a ban on such military actions.

The Pope, who is the first U.S. Pope, did not specifically mention the expansion of the conflict but urged for a ceasefire in the war involving Iran.

He described the situation as a scandal for the entire human family and highlighted the tragic experiences of the 20th century, noting that the ban on aerial bombardment has not progressed but rather regressed. His comments were made during a meeting with his executive staff in Italy, where he also addressed the broader implications of warfare and the need for peace.
