AhlulBayt News Agency: The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, extended its deepest condolences and sincere sympathy to the Catholic Church and to all Christians on the passing of Pope Francis, the Pope of the Vatican, who passed away after a life devoted to upholding human and religious values.
Hamas said in a statement on Monday that Pope Francis was widely known for his unwavering advocacy of interfaith dialogue, his calls for global understanding and peace, and his firm stance against hatred and racism. He consistently opposed aggression and warfare, and was a prominent religious voice in denouncing war crimes and acts of genocide, including those committed against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
“Greatly commending late Francis’s ethical and humanitarian stances, we, in the Hamas Movement, reaffirm the importance of continued efforts and cooperation among followers of divine religions and all free people to confront injustice and colonialism, and to uphold the principles of justice, freedom, and the rights of oppressed peoples worldwide,” the Movement stated.
The Vatican announced, in a video statement on Monday, the death of Pope Francis, 88, the first Latin American leader of the Catholic Church.
