Pope Francis criticized Israel's recent attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, calling them “immoral” and “disproportionate” during a press conference on his flight back from Belgium. He stated that military dominance should always be proportionate to the attack and that actions beyond morality are considered “immoral.”
Pope Francis talks to journalists on the flight back to Rome at the end of his four-day visit to Belgium and Luxembourg, on Sept. 29. Pope Francis suggested Sunday that Israel ’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon have been “immoral” and disproportionate, saying its military domination has gone beyond the rules of war.
Francis didn’t mention Israel by name and said he was speaking in general terms. But he said that “the defence must always be proportionate to the attack.” The death of Nasrallah has sent shock waves throughout Lebanon and the Middle East, where he has been a dominant political and military figure for more than three decades.
