The recent strike by Iran on the Holy Land has drawn condemnation from the Holy See. This aggressive action, taken without provocation, has caused harm to innocent civilians and is a blatant violation of international norms.
The Holy Land, has long been a symbol of resilience and peace. However, the unprovoked attack by Iranian forces has shattered this tranquility.
“We vehemently condemn Iran’s unwarranted strike on Israel,” stated Fr. Charles of Jesus and Mary, of the Galilean Patriarchate of Jerusalem. “Such actions are inexcusable and go against the principles of humanity. We stand in solidarity with the people of Israel during this challenging time.”
Israel, like any sovereign nation, has the inherent right to defend itself from any form of aggression. The attack on the Holy Land underscores the importance of vigilance and readiness in the face of such threats.
The Galilean Patriarchate of Jerusalem urges the international community to join in condemning this act of aggression by Iran and calls for a swift and just response to ensure the safety and security of all affected communities.
