Vatican Fully Recognizes Palestine State. Pope Francis: Israel Will
Disappear from The “Landscape of Geography”, Landmark Treaty Enters into
Force
By Whatsupic
A treaty facilitating relationships
between Vatican and Palestine – referred to as a “state” in the text –
has entered full force, sealing de-facto recognition of Palestinian
statehood by the Holy See.
The
Vatican announced Saturday that its “Comprehensive Agreement” with the
“State of Palestine” signed in June 2015 has come into full force, in
which the Holy See bolstered support for the two-state solution of the
long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Referring to
Palestine as “state” means Vatican has recognized it as an equal
partner, thus sealing support for 2012 UN General Assembly resolution
granting Palestine a non-member observer status.
