<\/strong>I follow with prayer and concern and also pain the news in the last hours about the worsening situation in Israel due to Iran's intervention. I make a heartfelt plea to stop all actions that could fuel a spiral of violence and that could drag the Middle East into an even greater conflict.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>No more war; no more attacks; no more violence. Yes to dialogue and yes to peace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
