HOLY LAND: JAEGER, "CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM ON THE FUNDAMENTAL AGREEMENT" (2)

"In any case – announces father Jaeger – the delegations have already planned another plenary meeting in early December, it is then that they will take stock of everything and will assess the progress made and what remains to be done, more clearly". As to Peres’ visit to the Vatican, the priest considers the fact the Israeli president is now Peres "particularly interesting". "It was him – he recalls – that, as a Minister of Foreign Affairs, entered into the Fundamental Agreement with the Holy See in 1993, which one year later led to the diplomatic relations, so one would suppose, one would hope, that he feels morally bound to promote a quick conclusion of the Agreement (about tax and property), which is still missing for the Fundamental agreement to be entire, complete, "accomplished" and therefore stable.
