Pope on Nasrallah's Elimination: 'Immoral Actions'

When asked about Israel's strike on Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Pope Francis emphasized that "even in war, there is morality that must be upheld."

Speaking with reporters on his flight back to Rome from Belgium, the Pope addressed a variety of topics, including Nasrallah's elimination.

One journalist inquired, "We read that 900 kg bombs were used for the targeted assassination of Nasrallah. With over a thousand displaced and many casualties, do you think Israel has gone too far in Lebanon and Gaza? How can this situation be resolved? Do you have a message for the people there?"

Francis responded, "I regularly communicate with the parish in Gaza. There are more than 600 people seeking refuge there, and they share with me the hardships and cruelties they are facing."

He continued, "Regarding your question, I didn't fully grasp how the situation has developed, but defence must always be proportional to the attack. When actions are disproportionate, it reveals a tendency to dominate that transcends morality. A country that employs its forces in such an extreme manner—I'm referring to any country—engages in immoral actions."

The Pope concluded, "Even in war, we must protect moral standards. War itself is immoral, yet the laws of war dictate certain ethical considerations. When these are ignored, it leads to what we say in Argentina—the 'bad blood' that results from such actions."
