Ramallah – President Mahmoud Abbas has declared a three-day national mourning period following the death of His Holiness Pope Francis, who passed away earlier this morning.
As a mark of respect, flags will be flown at half-mast across all Palestinian official institutions, both in the homeland and abroad.
This solemn gesture reflects the profound respect the Palestinian people hold for Pope Francis and his enduring moral leadership. Throughout his papacy, he was a beacon of peace, justice, and compassion. The Palestinian people will forever cherish his courageous and principled support for their rights and their just cause.
