Pope Francis expressed his hope for a political solution to be reached in Syria, aiming to establish stability and unity in the war-torn country. He emphasized his prayers for the Syrian population to live in peace and security in their homeland, advocating for different religions to coexist in friendship and mutual respect.
The head of the Catholic Church has a history of supporting those affected by the conflict in Syria. In 2017, Pope Francis donated 100,000 euros ($106,000) to Aleppo, a city heavily impacted by the ongoing crisis.
