Patriarch welcomes agreement between Holy See, Palestinian leaders
May 19, 2015
The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem welcomed the new diplomatic agreement between the Holy See and Palestinian leaders.
Stating that it will “facilitate the life and work of the Church in Palestine,” Patriarch Fouad Twal said on May 18 that the agreement “will encourage us to go forward, and to be determined in our faith for a possible peace for everybody despite the circumstances. Peace will never occur for one people alone.”
Patriarch Twal also expressed hope that “once the agreement is signed, the Arab League will also be present, and that it will serve as an example for other countries.”
