Pope: War is beneficial only for weapons manufacturers

As reported by Reuters, the Pope, speaking on Sunday to people gathered in St. Peter's Square, saying that everything, all wars are defeats, and they are profitable only for weapons manufacturers, noted that he was praying for the people affected by the current wars. The pope also repeated his demand for an end to the war in Ukraine and the crimes and attacks of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip, and emphasized continuing efforts to end the war. The rights of the oppressed Palestinian people have been suppressed by the Zionist regime for over 70 years. During this time, the occupation regime committed the most brutal crimes against the Palestinians. In response to more than 7 decades of occupation of Palestine and more than 10 years of siege of the Gaza Strip, as well as the imprisonment and torture of thousands of Palestinians, the Islamic resistance movement Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7th. The operation is considered one of the deadliest attacks against the regime; Hamas fighters entered the occupied territories through border barriers at several points, attacked villages and killed or captured a number of Israeli soldiers. Therefore, to compensate for its defeats in resistance operations, the Zionist regime has repeatedly bombed various areas of the Gaza Strip since October 7, killing more than 13,000 Palestinians, including more than 5,000 children and 3,330 women. Also, as a result of the Israeli regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip, 3,640 people went missing, of which 1,770 were children. These attacks also injured more than 30,000 Palestinians, 75% of whom were women and children.
