Pope Francis, in his Easter address this Sunday, called for peace in the Holy Land two days after 15 Palestinians were killed on the Israeli-Gaza border.
The catholic pontiff says the conflict there does not spare the defenceless, calling for a reconciliation in the Holy Land.
Francis begged for peace for the entire world, especially in Syria and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and wants an end to the acts of injustice in the world.
