Patriarchate pleads for calm in Jerusalem

October 09, 2015

The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem has appealed for calm in the Holy Land.

“Heavily concerned with the more recent wave of violence which blows over Israel and Palestine, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem condemns the bloody incidents of these last days and the frightening escalation which they are likely to bring about,” the patriarchate said in an October 7 statement. 

“The seriousness of the situation calls for all parties involved, Israeli and Palestinians, to show evidence of courage and to go back to the table of negotiations, which should run on solid and fair grounds, according to parameters of resolutions prescribed by UN,” the statement continued.
