Pope Leo offers to mediate between world leaders to end wars

Pope Leo XIV, elected last week as the first American pontiff, offered on May 14 at the Vatican to mediate between world leaders to end wars.
He made this offer amid ongoing violence in regions including Ukraine, the Middle East, Lebanon, Syria, Tigray, and the Caucasus, urging leaders to meet, talk, and negotiate.
Speaking to Eastern Catholic Churches at the Vatican's Paul VI hall during the 2025 Jubilee holy year, Leo called Christians primarily in the Middle East to remain in their homelands with full rights.
He committed to doing all he can to ensure peace prevails, called on everyone to pray for peace, and highlighted the Holy See’s willingness to facilitate direct dialogue between opposing parties.
Leo’s intervention signals active Vatican diplomacy in a fragmented global conflict, though observers question whether his mediation will yield tangible peace given complex geopolitical tensions.
