The Holy See on
Wednesday commented on renewed tension in the Middle East and
stressed that it sees a two-State solution as being the only way
for Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace.
"In the context of recent decisions that risk undermining
further the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and the already
fragile regional stability, the Holy See reiterates its position
of a two-state solution for two peoples, as the only way to
reach a complete solution to this age-old conflict," the Vatican
said in a statement.
"The Holy See supports the right of the State of Israel to
live in peace and security within the borders recognized by the
international community and supports the same right that belongs
to the Palestinian people, which must be recognized, respected
and implemented.
"The Holy See wishes that the two Parties, negotiating
directly with each other, with the support of the international
community and in compliance with United Nations resolutions, may
find a fair compromise, which takes into account the legitimate
aspirations of the two peoples".
