Pope Francis, known for his humility and commitment to social justice, has passed away. He was the first pontiff from the Global South and made significant efforts to engage with the Arab world and promote interfaith dialogue. His visits to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlighted his commitment to peace and human dignity. Francis consistently advocated for a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and called for an immediate ceasefire in war-torn Gaza. He also showed concern for the suffering of the Lebanese people and recognized Lebanon as an example of religious pluralism and peace. Arab and Muslim leaders offered their condolences, recognizing Francis' positive contributions and enduring humanitarian legacy.
