Ten years after the Holy See formally recognized the State of Palestine, Palestine's new Foreign Minister, Varsen Aghabekian, says the 2015 agreement offers a vision of hope for the future of the Holy Land, beginning with the continued presence of Christians in their homeland.
The agreement consists of a preamble and 8 chapters comprising 32 articles. It primarily outlines the essential aspects of the life and activities of Christians in Palestine, with particular reference to freedom of religion and conscience—rights that the Palestinian state commits to protecting.
The starting point for this process was the “Fundamental Agreement” that the Holy See had signed fifteen years earlier with a different Palestinian political entity—the Palestine Liberation Organization —which already recognized the right to religious freedom and the equal dignity of the three monotheistic religions present in Jerusalem.
“The 2015 agreement reaffirms the Holy See’s willingness to work with anyone to find concrete and just answers to the suffering of humanity," he told Together, we must work so that two peoples—the Israeli and the Palestinian—can live in peace and tranquility, with two independent and prosperous states in the land where Providence has brought them together.”
