Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas has mourned the passing of Pope Francis, voicing thanks for his condemnation of the suffering in the Gaza Strip, which has been devastated by the war since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023.

"On numerous occasions, he expressed his opposition to aggression and wars around the world, and he was among the prominent religious voices that condemned the war crimes and acts of genocide being committed against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip," Hamas said in a statement.

which has been devastated by the war since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023.

Yep and not a single day before

Edit: due to some recent information on how my comment might be taken by people who think genocide is justifiable, it's sarcasm pointing out how this conflict didn't begin on 7 October 2023 and how Palestine has been devastated by war since, at the very least, I was a kid.
