Cardinal Pizzaballa says two-state solution ‘only’ way forward for region

The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem has renewed calls for a two-state solution as the “only” way for Israel and Palestine to have a home.  

Speaking on the sidelines of the recent Rimini meeting, headlined by Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Pierbttista Pizzaballa highlighted the outstanding concerns from the Holy Land. For the Italian cardinal, after three decades spent in Israel, the future was clear.

“The two-state solution, Israel and Palestine, is the only way to recognise the right of Israelis and Palestinians to have a home on their land,” he told the news portal of the Church in Italy, AgenSir.
