Pope Leo XIV called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip after an Israeli airstrike hit a Catholic Church, resulting in three deaths and ten injuries. He expressed sorrow for the Christian community's suffering and emphasized the need for dialogue and reconciliation as peace negotiations with Hamas continue.
