In terms of reaction to Pope Francis surprise peace initiative - TopicsExpress



          

In terms of reaction to Pope Francis surprise peace initiative today, inviting Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to the Vatican to pray together for peace, early reactions are both positive and critical. The Chief Rabbi of Rome, Riccardo di Segni, said hell listen to the pope about Israels barrier with the West Bank and on the peace process when the Vatican tears down the massive stone walls that protect its own territory. On the other hand, news agencies are reporting that Peres has accepted the popes invitation, and given that his term ends July 27, presumably that means doing this quickly assuming that Abbas signs on as well.
