G.O.G Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Pope Francis yesterday rejected the latest episode of violence and repression in the Holy Land that only harms the peace options, and called to revive the efforts of dialogue and justice, without making direct reference to the massacre perpetrated by the Israelis against the Palestinians, who protested in Gaza against the transfer of the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Francisco, at the end of his weekly general audience, said he was "very worried and hurt" by the bloodshed and expressed "great sorrow for the dead and wounded" and for all who are suffering. The Argentine Pontiff pointed out that the use of violence can never generate peace. "War breeds war, violence breeds violence," said the Pope. He urged all parties and the international community to "renew their commitment to prevail dialogue, justice and peace." Meanwhile, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) convened its ambassadors in Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania, countries of the European Union, for participating in the ceremony of the Israeli regime on the occasion of the opening of the new US embassy in Jerusalem, reported HispanTV. Meanwhile, Guatemala became the first Latin American country to move its legation to Jerusalem. In this regard, the Secretary General of the Organization for the Liberation of Palestine (PLO), Saeb Erekat, indicated that Guatemala chose to be "on the wrong side of history." Yesterday, the death toll from the bombing of Gaza against Palestinian protests rose to 115, while the wounded, about 3,000, have exceeded the capacity of hospitals 1
