CWN Editor's Note: Noting that the Holy See and the State of Palestine have had full diplomatic relations for a decade, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Secretary of State of His Holiness, said that the solution to the crisis in the Holy Land is “the recognition of two states, living side by side, independently but also in cooperation and security.”
The prelate also lamented the hunger crisis in Gaza and discussed the Russian invasion of Ukraine: “I don’t think the Vatican can be accused of not being neutral. We have always tried—while speaking truthfully—to stand close to both sides and, above all, to help find a path toward a resolution of the conflict.”
