In Insult to Israel, Vatican Recognizes Non-Existent ‘State of Palestine’

In a slap to Israel, the Vatican has officially recognized the state of Palestine – which does not exist – in a new treaty.
The treaty, which was finalized Wednesday but still has to be signed, makes clear that the Holy See has switched its diplomatic relations from the Palestinian Liberation Organization to the state of Palestine.
The Vatican had welcomed the decision by the U.N. General Assembly in 2012 to recognize a Palestinian state. But the treaty is the first legal document negotiated between the Holy See and the Palestinian state and constitutes an official recognition.
