What did pope Leo say about Hezbollah's arms?
In an interview with Sky News Arabia, Pope Leo XIV said he had read a letter from Hezbollah but that he prefers not to comment on it, adding that the Church proposes that Hezbollah disarm and seek dialogue instead.
The pope said that peaceful solutions would be more productive and better for the Lebanese people, and vowed to keep on working to convince parties in Lebanon to disarm and choose dialogue instead of violence.
The Pope said he held political meetings in Lebanon away from the media and that he focused on calming domestic and regional conflicts.
In another interview with LBCI, Pope Leo said that he has communicated and will continue to communicate with world leaders to establish peace in Lebanon, after the channel's journalist asked him if he had communicated with U.S. president Donald Trump to ask him to pressure Israel to halt its attacks on Lebanon.
