Pope Francis renewed his appeal for peace in the Middle East in his traditional Christmas message from the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica, denouncing the role of the arms trade in fomenting violence around the world. • The Pope, 87, who suffers from pain in his hip and knee, and at times seemed short of breath, delivered his Christmas message for the first time sitting down. He makes frequent use of a wheel-chair, walks with a stick and often delegates the leading role in religious ceremonies to colleagues. • Francis said he embraced the peoples of Israel and the Occupied Territories, and in particular the Christian community of Gaza, while members of the crowd waved around 20 Palestinian flags. • Read the best of our journalism: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/ • Subscribe to The Times and The Sunday Times YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_... • Find us on Facebook: / timesandsundaytimes • Find us on Twitter: / thetimes • Find us on Instagram: / thetimes
