Pope Leo says Dahieh strike 'serious cause for concern'
Pope Leo XIV told journalists Tuesday at Castel Gandolfo in Italy that he is "very happy to be able to visit Lebanon."
Leo XIV said that Israel's strike on Beirut's southern suburb this weekend is a serious cause for concern, urging everyone to find ways to abandon the use of weapons as a means of solving problems.
He called on all to respect one another, "to come together to respect one another, to sit down together at the table to dialogue and to work together for solutions for the problems that affect us."
He urged Israel and Hezbollah "to look for justice because often times violence occurs as a result of injustices" so that all must "work together to look for greater unity, respect for all people and all religions."
