Pope urges immediate ceasefire in 'martyred' Lebanon

W460

Pope Francis called for an immediate ceasefire in "martyred" Lebanon and the wider Middle East as he ended a three-day visit to Belgium.

"I call on all parties to immediately cease fire in Lebanon, Gaza, the rest of Palestine and Israel," the Argentinian pontiff, 87, told an open-air mass in Brussels, as Israel continued to target Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israel supports a ceasefire -- say 25 to 50 years -- while Lebanon does not. Lebanon wants a 21-day ceasefire -- that accomplishes nothing.
