In his last major interview with CBS' '60 Minutes', Pope Francis made a heartfelt appeal for world leaders to negotiate peace and end ongoing wars, specifically referencing the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas war. He underscored that even a bad deal is preferable to continued violence, advocating for the power of negotiation. In discussing hope amidst tragedies, he expressed faith in humanity's goodness and resilience. Tragically, these remarks gained renewed significance following his recent death at 88, after a health crisis earlier that year.
"A bad deal is always better than an ugly defeat, is it not?"
"Negotiate. Negotiate. The white flag is for negotiating, not for surrendering, but for negotiating."
