In a recent escalation of violence, an Israeli strike on the only Catholic church in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of three individuals and left a priest injured. Israel expressed deep regret over the incident, labeling it a mistake, especially after mounting pressure from various leaders, including a call from Trump. In response to the attack, Pope Leo has called for an immediate ceasefire, emphasizing the need for dialogue and peace in the region. Both Catholic and Greek Orthodox leaders have made a rare joint visit to the affected area, showing solidarity with the local community. Humanitarian aid continues to flow into Gaza, spearheaded by church officials, as the death toll from Israeli strikes in the area continues to rise.
