Pope Francis's call for an investigation into whether Israel is committing genocide marks a significant moment, as it implies a deep concern for the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
In his recent book, he used the term genocide while discussing the situation in Gaza, stating, 'According to some experts, what is happening in Gaza has the characteristics of a genocide.'
The Pope has consistently advocated for a ceasefire in Gaza and emphasized the need for humanitarian aid, calling Israel's military actions 'immoral and disproportionate'.
With nearly 44,000 Palestinian deaths reported since the escalation began in October 2023, the Pope's comments highlight the dire humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
