The Pontiff believes that the motto of the document, «No Peace Without Justice, No Justice Without Forgiveness,» is particularly relevant in seeking a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
«The continuous recourse to acts of terror and war, which aggravate the situation and diminish hope on all sides, must finally give way to a negotiated solution,» the Pope emphasizes.
«The rights and demands of each party can be taken into proper account and balanced in an equitable way, if and when there is a will to let justice and reconciliation prevail,» the Holy Father adds. «I urge the beloved peoples of the Holy Land to work for a new era of mutual respect and constructive accord.»
