Pope Leon XIV
Pope Leon XIV, elected on May 8 as the first Pope from the United States, has made peace a central theme of his papacy, recently urging an end to hostilities between Israel and Hamas in light of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. During his first weekly audience at St. Peter's Square, he expressed deep concern over the dire situation in the Gaza Strip, calling for sufficient humanitarian aid to be allowed into the region and condemning the ongoing violence that disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly.
