CWN Editor's Note: The Latin-rite Patriarch of Jerusalem has said that the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is “not realistic now,” in light of the latest war.
The Vatican has long called for a two-state solution. But Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa told an EWTN audience that “you need something new, creative—I don’t know what—but the previous agreements, ideas, the prospective two-state solution, everything is not realistic now.”
Cardinal Pizzaballa declined to offer a proposal of his own, saying that the opposing parties must negotiate a viable peace agreement. “I don’t think the Church should enter these things,” he said, stressing that the role of the Church is simply to appeal for peace.
