Middle East: Parolin, two states for two peoples, justice is the foundation of peace

Rome, 12 October (LaPresse) – ‘We continue to believe that two states for two peoples is the formula that can help resolve the problems and relations between Jews and Palestinians and is perfectly in line with what we have always asked for.’ This was stated by Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, speaking to reporters in Assisi, where he presided over Mass on the occasion of the first liturgical memorial of St. Carlo Acutis. ‘True peace is based on justice, as the Church has always said,’ he added, ‘the foundation of peace is justice.’
