For
Israelis, it was an emotional blow, since Francis has deep
relationships with Jews dating back decades, and Christians are
critical backers of their enterprise.
Israel’s
Foreign Ministry said it was “disappointed” by the Vatican’s
decision, and that the recognition would “not advance the peace
process.”
The
Vatican announcement came as Israel’s new, more conservative
government published its official guidelines, which promised to
“advance the peace process” and “make an effort to reach a
peace agreement with the Palestinians” but did not use the term
“Palestinian state.”
