” “"The Holy See is still supporting an immediate ceasefire. Current problems are many and extremely complicated. This is why they cannot be addressed all together; bearing in mind the global picture and the global solution to be achieved, we must solve the problems per partes, starting from those that can be solved now". In an interview with the Vatican Radio Station, mgr. Giovanni Lajolo, secretary for foreign relations of the Secretariat of State, comments in this way the International Conference for Lebanon that took place in Rome yesterday, which he attended as an Observer. "The position of those who claim that first of all the foundations must be laid for truce not to be broken again states Lajolo is only seemingly realistic: because such foundations can and must be laid with means other than the killing of innocent people. The Pope sympathises with those populations, the victims of oppositions and of a conflict that has nothing to do with them. An immediate ceasefire is possible, so it must be done".
