VATICAN CITY: A top Vatican official on Thursday rejected US President Donald Trump´s proposal to move Palestinians from Gaza, saying “the Palestinian population must remain on its land”.
“This is one of the fundamental points of the Holy See: no deportations,” Secretary of State Pietro Parolin said on the sidelines of an Italy-Vatican meeting, according to the ANSA news agency.
Moving Palestinians out would cause regional tensions and “makes no sense” as neighbouring countries such as Jordan are opposed, he continued. “The solution in our opinion is that of two states because this also means giving hope to the population,” he said.
