Pope Urges Gaza Cease Fire: As the Israeli war on Gaza entered its seventh day, Pope France has called for a cease-fire in the Middle East, praying for peace in the occupied Holy Land. “I extend a heartfelt appeal to all of you to continue to pray earnestly for peace in the Holy Land, in light of the tragic events of recent days,” the Pope said after his July 13 weekly Angelus address, Catholic News Agency reported. Speaking in Italian, the Pope made his Sunday prayer from the window of his apartment above St. Peters Square. The Pope called for peace, adding that his meeting in June with the Palestinian and Israeli presidents was not a waste of time. In June, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli President Shimon Peres committed themselves to the quest for peace during a visit to the Vatican.
