Why it matters: Parolin’s stance not only reaffirms the Vatican’s commitment to human dignity and stability in the region but also challenges controversial US plan to evict Palestinians from their homeland.
Key points:
- Parolin emphasized that “no deportations” is a fundamental principle of the Holy See.
- He warned that moving Palestinians out would likely heighten regional tensions, with neighboring nations like Jordan opposing the idea.
- The Vatican supports a two-state solution, which it believes offers hope and a peaceful future for the Palestinian people.
- This criticism follows recent remarks from Pope Francis, who decried Trump’s plans for mass deportations of undocumented migrants in the US.
- Trump has threatened to withhold aid from Jordan and Egypt if they refuse to accept Palestinian refugees, further intensifying the controversy.
