CWN Editor's Note: Reacting to an Israeli attack on a Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank, the Latin-rite Patriarch of Jerusalem called for an end to “unjustified crimes” and a ceasefire in the region.

Archbishop Pierbattista Pizzzaballa said military attacks on terrorist cells in Palestinian refugee camps are only at best “temporary solutions” to the problem of terrorism. “Cells will continually resurface,” he said, until a lasting solution ensures the “dignity, freedom, and self-determination of the Palestinian people.”
