Pope maintains diplomatic balance during Holy Land visit
Papa je održao diplomatsku ravnotežu u toku posjete Svetoj zemlji
Vatican observers and religious officials believe that Pope Francis maintained a delicate diplomatic balance during his whistle-stop tour of the Middle East this week.
na Memorijalu žrtvama terorizma
Rabbi David Rosen, honorary adviser to the Israeli Chief Rabbinate on interfaith matters, said that the visit had been significant in that papal visits were now becoming the norm in Israel, which has hosted three different popes since 2000.
na "zidu"
Vatikanski promatrači i religiozni predstavnici vjeruju da je Papa Franjo uspio u delikatnoj diplomatskoj ravnoteži u toku svoje ture po Srednjem Istoku. Rabin David Rosen, koji je savjetnik u izraelskom Glavnom rabinatu za međureligijska pitanja, je rekao da je značajno da su posjete papa Izraelu postakle "normalne", jer je Izrael , od 2000. godine, ugostio trojicu različitih Papa.

Rabin, član bilateralne komisije između države Izrael i Svete stolice, koje imaju pune bilateralne odnose od 1994, je naglasio političku prirodu Papinih poteza. Tako je papa u nedelju napravio nepredviđenu posjetu sigurnosnoj barijeri ( zidu) na Zapadnoj obali, dok je u ponedjeljak molio za kraj terorizma na Memorijalu za izraelske žrtve terorizma na Herzlovom brdu ( Mount Herzl).

“There’s a battle here for sympathy, and each side seeks to emphasize the messages and images that are important for them,” Rosen told The Jerusalem Post.
“It’s difficult for the different sides to accept that the other has suffered, but in general there is relatively minimal political instrumentalisation.”
JERUSALEM
(EJP)---Pope Francis honored the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust,
kissing the hands of six survivors in an emotional ceremony at Yad Vashem, the
Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, and prayed at Israel's Victims of Acts of
Terror Memorial.
The
memorial includes the names of hundreds of civilians killed in Palestinian and
Arab terror attacks since 1851.
At
the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial, Francis prayed before a crypt with ashes of
victims and laid a wreath of yellow and white flowers in the "Hall of
Remembrance."
Then
one by one, he kissed the hands of six Holocaust survivors in a sign of humility
and honor as he heard their stories and of loved ones
killed by the Nazis during
World War II.
