The Chaldean Church Calls for an End to Military Operations in Palestine and the Region

We follow with pain and concern what is happening in the region, a fighting that ignores international law and targets the lives of innocent civilians, infrastructure, and even hospitals. These actions are shameful. Political officials in the region must realize that the solution is through courageous dialogue to achieve peace and justice, and not through weapons that destroy life and quarantine.
