The Lord will give strength to his people, the Lord will bless his people with peace. (Psalms, 28:11)
It is with great sadness and concern that we watch the tragic events in Israel, which, through unprecedented terrorist attacks, have already taken the lives of so many innocent people.
In the light of the teaching of Christ the Saviour, we believe that there is no justification for such atrocities that bring nothing but pain and desolation, and the only way to heal this bleeding wound of the Holy Land must be through diplomacy and feelings of humanity.
We hope that the Good Lord will give wisdom to all those on whom the ceasefire depends, we mourn the dead and pray for the protection and strengthening of the citizens of Israel and our fellow citizens who are in this land.
With thoughts of encouragement and peace,
† VLADIMIR,
METROPOLITAN OF CHISINAU AND ALL MOLDOVA
