A prominent Palestinian authority calls the Vatican
Secretary for Relations with States "to inform the Holy See about recent
developments in the Palestinian territories".
By Vatican News
The Holy See has once more reiterated the two-people,
two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian problem for peace in the Holy
Land.
A statement by the Holy See Press Office on Wednesday said
that the Chief Palestine negotiator and Secretary General of the Palestine
Liberation Organization, Saeb Erekat, called the Vatican Secretary for
Relations with States, Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher.
Erekat called to “inform the Holy See about recent
developments in the Palestinian territories and of the possibility of Israeli
applying its sovereignty unilaterally to part of those territories, further
jeopardizing the peace process”.
In this regard, the Press Office said, “The Holy See
reiterates that respect for international law and the relevant United Nations
resolutions, is an indispensable element for the two peoples to live side by
side in two States, within the borders internationally recognized before 1967.”
“The Holy See is following the situation closely, and
expresses concern about any future actions that could further compromise
dialogue.”
The statement concluded saying that the Holy See hopes that
“Israelis and Palestinians will be soon able to find once again the possibility
for directly negotiating an agreement, with the help of the International
Community, so that peace may finally reign in the Holy Land, so beloved by Jews
and Christians and Muslims”.
