Newsroom VOI takes a look at the recent Vatican treaty recognizing the 'State of Palestine.'
On the line before flying to Rome to meet with the Pope, AJC international director of inter-religious affairs Rabbi David Rosen says that the Holy See’s position is shaped by the Palestinian identity felt by the Catholic community in the Palestinian territories.
Then, historian Dr. Rafael Medoff explains to VOI’s Mordechai Twersky the significance of comments made by the Pope earlier in the week about the Holocaust.
