A new call to leaders for an immediate end to hostilities in the Middle East<\/b> and Ukraine <\/b> has been issued from Angola, where Pope Leo IV<\/b> is in Angola. <\/p>\n
“Guns to be silenced and the path of dialogue to follow<\/b>,” Pope Leo IV said, referring to the ongoing war <\/b>in the Middle East<\/b> and Ukraine. The pope made the call after a mass outside the Angolan capital Luanda, attended by about 100,000 people.<\/p>\n
His new statement follows one yesterday, which indicated he did not intend to enter into a confrontation with US President Donald Trump<\/b>. Recall that on Tuesday night, Donald Trump<\/b> called in a post for “someone to inform Pope Leo about the killings of protesters in Iran.” While, Donald Trump<\/b> called it “absolutely unacceptable” for Iran<\/b> to acquire a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n
In any case, the US pontiff had praised the ceasefire between Israel<\/b> and Lebanon<\/b> for halting hostilities between Israeli forces and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah<\/b>, calling it a “reason for hope”.<\/p>\n
The tension, which had been raised by Trump’s side with Pope Leo IV, was also intervened today by France <\/b>with Foreign Minister, Jean Noel Barrot<\/b> saying: “I don’t understand them (Trump’s statements) and I don’t believe they are acceptable, in the sense that the pontiff’s mission is to call for peace and brotherhood in all places and in all circumstances<\/b>.”<\/p>\n
Recall that last Monday, Italian Prime Minister<\/b>, Georgia Meloni<\/b> had called Donald Trump’s statements against Pope Leo IV “unacceptable.”<\/p>\n
