JAKARTA - Pope Leo XIV ended his three-day visit to Lebanon today, Tuesday, December 2, leading a silent prayer at the 2020 chemical explosion site at Beirut Harbor.
Citing AFP, the Catholic mass prayer is expected to be attended by 100,000 people. Furthermore, Leo and his entourage will leave for Rome at around 13.15 local time.
Pope Leo, who said he was carrying out a peace mission, had encouraged Lebanese leaders to continue to perpetuate security and social stability.
Leo called for peace measures to continue in Lebanon despite Israel's back and forth attacks on Lebanon over a year of a ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and the US-brokered Israel.
Ending his first overseas visit as a Catholic leader, Leo pleaded for peace in the Middle East and warned that humanity's future is threatened by bloody conflict in the world.
The location of a chemical explosion at Beirut Port in 2020 killed 200 people and caused damage with billions of dollars in material losses.
However, the investigation investigated the cause of the explosion stalled to date. Including, no one has been held accountable by the authorities.
