Pope: Vatican not ready to make Gaza genocide declaration, but suffering impossible to ignore

Pope Leo XIV says in a July interview that was published today that the Holy See is not yet prepared to make an official declaration that a genocide is under way in Gaza, even as more international experts apply the term.

“Officially, the Holy See does not believe that we can make any declaration at this time about that,” the pontiff told US journalist Elise Ann Allen.
