SOLUTIONS TO CONFLICTS IN MIDDLE EAST AND SYRIA FOCUS OF POPE'S MEETING WITH
PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL
Vatican City, 30 April 2013 (VIS) - This morning in the Vatican Apostolic
Palace, the Holy Father received Shimon Peres, president of the State of
Israel. President Peres then met with the Secretary of State, Cardinal
Tarcisio Bertone, S.D.B.,
accompanied by Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, secretary for Relations with
States.
During the cordial talks, the political and social situation in the Middle
East-where more than a few conflicts persist-was addressed. A speedy
resumption of negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians is hoped for, so
that, with the
courageous decisions and availability of both sides as well as support from
the international community, an agreement may be reached that respects the
legitimate aspirations of the two Peoples, thus decisively contributing to the
peace and stability of
the region. Reference to the important issue of the City of Jerusalem was not
overlooked. Particular worry for the conflict that plagues Syria was
expressed, for which a political solution is hoped for that privileges the
logic of reconciliation and
dialogue.
A number of issues concerning relations between the State of Israel and the
Holy See and between state authorities and the local Catholic communities were
also addressed. In conclusion, the significant progress made by the Bilateral
Working Commission,
which is preparing an agreement regarding issues of common interest, was
appreciated and its rapid conclusion is foreseen.

Vatican City, 30 April 2013 (VIS) - This morning, in the Library of the

There will be 250,000

Vatican newspaper,
L'Osservatore Romano, from 13 March 2013 (the day of the new pontiff's
