At the end of his Wednesday General Audience Catechesis, on December 13th, 2023, at the Vatican Pope Francis made an appeal for a Ceasefire.
FULL TEXT Appeal of Pope Francis
I am continuing to follow the war in Israel and in Palestine, with great concern.
I renew my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. There is much suffering there. I encourage all the parties involved to resume negotiations, and I ask everyone to make an urgent commitment to ensure that humanitarian aid will reach the people of Gaza, who are at the end of their tether and in great need of it.
May all the hostages be freed. They had seen some hope in the recent truce. May the enormous suffering of the Israelis and the Palestinians end.
Please: No to weapons, yes to peace!
