What to know

  • About 150 Catholic clergy, including a bishop, marched to the Vatican calling Israel's Gaza war a 'genocide'—a significantly larger turnout than last year's march.
  • The 'Priests Against Genocide' network, formed in August 2025, now says it includes over 2,500 priests and bishops across five continents.
  • Marchers carried a banner naming 300 children killed in Gaza and southern Lebanon and continued their protest to the Palestinian and Lebanese embassies and to arms maker Leonardo SpA's Rome headquarters.
  • Israel has vehemently denied the genocide characterization, saying it seeks to avoid civilian harm and blaming Hamas for deaths due to militants operating in populated areas.
