VATICAN CITY: Pope Benedict XVI says he wants to encourage efforts to get Israelis and Palestinians to sit down together in peace talks over the Gaza conflict.

Benedict spoke Tuesday to pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter's Square.

The pope says he is following the news of the armed clashes in Gaza with "strong worry." He is repeating his warning that hate and rejection of dialogue only lead to war.

Benedict says he is encouraging all efforts and initiatives by those who want peace, and who are trying to help Israelis and Palestinians to sit down and talk.

The Vatican has said the pope would like to go the Holy Land on a pilgrimage this spring, but no concrete plans have been made.
