The Chaldean Church calls for an end to military operations in Palestine and the region
We follow with pain and concern what is happening in the region, a fighting that ignores international law and targets the lives of innocent civilians, infrastructure, and even hospitals. These actions are shameful.
Political officials in the region must realize that the solution is through courageous dialogue to achieve peace and justice, and not through weapons that destroy life and quarantine.
As a church, we call on the international community to assume its responsibilities in halting military operations, sparing the countries of the region from sliding into all-out war, allowing the entry of food and medical supplies, creating safe passages for civilians, and striving seriously to revive the peace process and establish two peaceful neighboring states: Israel and Palestine .
We join the call of His Holiness Pope Francis and all Christian and Muslim clergy and people of good will in the world, in prayer and hope to stop this devastating war and find a just solution for the Palestinian people.
Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako
