⌨The newspapers extensively report on Easter celebrations at the Vatican, where Pope Francis appeared at St. Peter's Basilica balcony, blessing thousands of gathered faithful (BFMTV, France TV Info, Le Parisien). During his address, the 88-year-old pontiff, still recovering from pneumonia, called for a Gaza ceasefire while denouncing "rising antisemitism" (Le Figaro, Le Parisien). Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine are mutually accusing each other of violating the Easter truce announced by Putin, with Zelensky claiming Russia continues attacks while giving the "general impression" of observing a ceasefire (Le Monde, L'Express).
