Pope Leo repeats Vatican’s call for Two State solution in Holy Land, asks for respect of rights of Venezuelans

Pope Leo XIV on Friday told diplomats to the Vatican that the Holy See has a “full willingness” to support any initiative that promotes peace and harmony in the world.

Noting that conflicts are rising in the world, the pontiff pointed to the Holy Land, where despite the truce announced in October 2025, civilians “continues to endure a serious humanitarian crisis, adding further suffering to that already experienced.”
