VATICAN CITY/TEL AVIV: Pope Benedict XVI and Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas met in the Vatican Friday and said there was an “urgent need” for a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“Particular stress was laid on the urgent need to find a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” the Vatican said in a statement after the talks.
Any resolution to the conflict will have to respect the rights of all parties including through “the attainment of the Palestinian people’s legitimate aspirations for an independent state,” the statement added.

“It was thus reiterated that soon the State of Israel and the Palestinian State must live in security, at peace with their neighbors and within internationally recognized borders,” it continued.
