Pope Francis: "Investigate if Gaza is a genocide"
The Pontiff's appeal after the death toll from Israeli attacks exceeds 200
The UN has denounced that the attacks could constitute war crimes
Pope Francis has asked for an investigation into whether the Israeli attacks on Gaza constitute genocide. The Pontiff made this appeal after the death toll from Israeli attacks exceeded 200, including dozens of children. The UN has denounced that the attacks could constitute war crimes.
The Pope's appeal comes as international pressure mounts on Israel to end its offensive in Gaza. The UN has called for an immediate ceasefire, and the United States has expressed its concern about the high number of civilian casualties. However, Israel has said that it will continue its offensive until it has destroyed Hamas's rocket arsenal.
The Israeli attacks have sparked outrage around the world. In the United States, thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest the Israeli offensive. The protests have been largely peaceful, but there have been some reports of violence.
The Israeli offensive in Gaza is the latest in a long history of conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. The two sides have been fighting for decades, and there seems to be no end in sight. The Pope's appeal for an investigation into whether the Israeli attacks constitute genocide is a sign of the growing international concern about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
