of today's believer wars.

from the Catholic Church...

At the same time, our faith compels us to have the same care for Muslims and Jews that we do for fellow Christians. We are called to defend the rights and dignity of all who suffer in Israel-Palestine, regardless of their religion, ethnicity or nationality.

The International Christian Embassy is in Jerusalem, and is interdenominational.

At present, there are 103 Catholic parishes in Israel and the Palestinian Territories.
The Catholic Church considers the Holy Land to include Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Jerusalem and Jordan. For some Eastern Churches, the Holy Land also includes Lebanon and Syria.

Pope Francis has often stressed the importance of dialogue, diplomacy, and the search for peaceful solutions, emphasising that war begets war, violence begets violence. The Catholic Church, under Pope Francis, advocates for a two-state solution, with both Israel and Palestine coexisting peacefully.
