Vatican signs historic accord with Palestine

Raw Story

The Vatican on Friday signed a historic first accord with Palestine, two years after officially recognising it as a state.

The accord, a treaty covering the life and activity of the Church in Palestine, was the first since the Vatican recognised the Palestinian state in February 2013.

The treaty, which took 15 years of negotiations to complete, was agreed in principle last month and bitterly condemned by Israel as a setback for the peace process.  

The Vatican’s recognition of the state of Palestine followed a November 12 vote in favour of recognition by the UN General Assembly.

Vatican officials have described it as reflecting the Church’s desire to see the conflict in the Holy Land resolved by a “two-state” solution.

The Palestinian Authority considers the Vatican one of 136 countries to have recognised Palestine as a state, although the number is disputed and several recognitions by what are now European Union member states date back to the Soviet era.

The Vatican has had diplomatic relations with Israel since 1993 but has yet to conclude an accord on the Church’s rights in the Jewish state which has been under discussion since 1999.

One thought on “Vatican signs historic accord with Palestine

  1. In my opinion, if one considers what comes out of the mouths of all Ruling bodies of Religion and Government today speaks out of both sides of their mouths. It’s Babel=confusion. It’s all bread and circuses to keep the masses distracted so the them/they can baffle everybody. I don’t care if a man did a hundred good deeds but then murdered an innocent for their cause, or, murdered only one baby or child. Once they cross that line, they are irrelevant and deserve death. What ever their title may be. The Pope, the POTUS, the SCOTUS, etc. etc. etc. represent EVIL and Hypocrisy. I am rather thankful that as of late, these NWO promoting miscreants have come out into the open and showing what they are about. ie. Who is their father. What ‘buisness’ they are doing. For one, they are known and admitted sodomites. Good luck with that. Every knee will eventually bow to Him who created all. I for one would like to expedite their demise. Their eradication. That’s why we who are of that sort, unanimously say, death to the NWO, which isn’t new at all. Be of good courage my brethren. We win at the end of His Story. Peace.
