” “The Holy See is following with great anxiety and pain the episodes of growing, blind violence that are causing bloodshed in the Holy Land over these days”. This is the statement made by Jaquin Navarro-Valls, director of the Pressroom of the Holy See, this morning to the press. “The Holy Father added Navarro-Valls is close, especially through prayer, to the innocent victims, their families and the populations of that land, which is held hostage by those who are under the illusion they can solve the more and more serious problems of the region by force or unilaterally. The Holy See asks the international community to quickly deploy the means required to provide proper humanitarian aids to the Palestinian population and joins in urging the leaders of both peoples to show respect first and foremost for human life, especially that of the helpless civilians and children, and to bravely resume the way of negotiations, the only way that can lead to a just and long-lasting peace to which everyone aspires”.
