The Holy See Press Office released a statement on Wednesday
evening regarding a meeting that took place on Tuesday. Cardinal Secretary of
State Parolin "met with the Ambassadors of the United States of America
and of the State of Israel", the statement reads. During the meeting, the
Cardinal expressed the Holy See's concern "regarding possible unilateral
actions that may further jeopardize the search for peace between Israelis and
Palestinians, as well as the delicate situation in the Middle East".
The statement continues saying, "As already declared on
20 November 2019 and on 20 May 2020, the Holy See reiterates that the State of
Israel and the State of Palestine have the right to exist and to live in peace
and security, within internationally recognized borders. It thus appeals to the
Parties to do everything possible to reopen the process of direct negotiation,
on the basis of the relevant Resolutions of the United Nations, and aided by
measures that can reestablish reciprocal confidence, so that they may have 'the
courage to say yes to encounter and no to conflict: yes to dialogue and no to
violence; yes to negotiations and no to hostilities; yes to respect for
agreements and no to acts of provocation; yes to sincerity and no to duplicity'
(Pope Francis, Invocation for peace in the Holy Land, Vatican Gardens, 8
June 2014)."
