Milan, June 25 (LaPresse) – "Peace is a demanding word. The ceasefire is important because it prevents tensions from spreading across the entire region, but peace will require a long time and will be very difficult. In any case, every hope for peace will remain fragile and unstable until the Palestinian issue is addressed," said Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Pierbattista Pizzaballa in an interview with La Repubblica, commenting on the ceasefire between Israel and Iran. "Until the Palestinian issue is addressed seriously and radically, any future regional arrangement — and who knows if a new arrangement will even be necessary — will remain incomplete," he added. "The Arab world is connected: there are borders between various states, but there are also very strong ties that go beyond borders. The Palestinian issue is one of these ties. This is not the first time it has been sidelined: it happens, there are ups and downs. Unfortunately, there is a lack of political vision."
