On Wednesday, the Vatican finalized a treaty that officially recognizes the State of Palestine. That treaty was obviously drawn up at the behest of Pope Francis.
While Pope Francis has been a great leader of the Catholic church, he clearly made a mistake in recognizing Palestine as a state.
Pope Francis must have been fooled by the declarations in English by Mahmoud Abbas that he wants a two state solution. As a matter of fact, Abbas and other Palestinian Authority leaders, when addressing their Arab audiences in Arabic, have vowed time after time that “there will be only one state from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea and that will be a Palestinian state.” Furthermore, Abbas and other Palestinian leaders have declared that there will be no Jews in a Palestinian State.
It is beyond my comprehension how Pope Francis can give recognition to a Palestinian state whose leaders continually vow to obliterate the State of Israel and to get rid of the Jews.
