Vatican City (Vatican), 18 Sept. (LaPresse) – "Officially, the Holy See does not believe that any statement can be made on this matter at this time. There is a very technical definition of what genocide could be, but more and more people are raising the issue, including two human rights groups in Israel that have released this statement." Thus Pope Leo XIV in Elise Ann Allen's interview book, released today in Peru, on whether one can speak of genocide in Gaza.
