Pope Leo XIV urges unity on day two of Lebanon visit
Pope Leo used the second day of his visit to Lebanon to call for “coexistence,” bringing together religious leaders from both sides of the former civil war divide and urging unity in a region long scarred by conflict. Speaking in Beirut’s Martyrs’ Square, once the “green line” separating the Muslim west from the Christian east during the 1975–90 civil war, he said Lebanon stands as proof that “fear, distrust and prejudice do not have the final word.” France24 correspondent Rawad Taha reports from Beirut.
