Israel-Hamas War: Catholic Pope Reacts
Posted by Thandiubani on Thu 02nd Nov, 2023 - tori.ngThe 86-year-old Catholic pontiff strongly advocated a two-state solution, one state for Israel and one for the Palestinians.
Pope Francis has broken his silence over the war between Hamas and Israel.
He called on Israel and the Palestinians to find a solution at the negotiating table.
The 86-year-old Catholic pontiff strongly advocated a two-state solution, one state for Israel and one for the Palestinians.
He said, “Every war is a defeat. Nothing is solved by war. Everything is gained with peace, with dialogue.
“In war, one slap in the face provokes another. A strong one and then another stronger one, and it goes on,” Francis said.
“However, it is about two peoples who must live together.
“There is a “clever solution” for this: ‘Two peoples, two states. The Oslo Accords state: two well-limited states and Jerusalem with a special status’.”
Francis was referring to the Oslo peace process between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), which began in 1993.
