Pope Francis intensified his criticism of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, describing the humanitarian situation as ‘very serious and shameful.’ In his annual address, delivered on his behalf as he recovers from illness, he condemned the bombing of civilians and raised concerns about children suffering from the winter cold due to damaged infrastructure. The Pope also addressed the dangers of misinformation and artificial intelligence, advocating for critical education to combat these issues. His remarks come amidst ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has claimed thousands of lives.
