Vatican: Unilateral measures can endanger peace

The second man in the Vatican, Cardinal Petro Parolin, met the US and Israeli ambassadors to express the Holy See´s concern about possible unilateral actions that could jeopardize the search for peace Between the Israelis and the Palestinians. "

A Vatican statement said, "The Holy See reiterates that the State of Israel and the State of Palestine have the right to exist and to live in peace and security within internationally recognized borders."

And Israeli Minister of Regional Cooperation Ofir Akonis confirmed earlier Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to annex parts of the West Bank this month, but not before US President Donald Trump signs the plan.

"The annexation will definitely take place in July," said Acunis, in an interview with Israeli Army Radio.

He explained that Israel has not yet obtained full approval from the American administration on the details of the plan, stressing that it is unlikely that any step will be taken before US President Donald Trump issued a new statement in this regard.
