  • Vatican / Arab Peace Deal

    Hmmm, not sure what to think of this…. but it does look interesting so I thought I would bring it to your attention. Actually, we might want to dig into this a little more….  I have to wonder about the details of this “peace deal”!

    It’s funny I almost didn’t see this article. Most of
    the news is getting buried because of the swine flu hubub!  It certainly has been a “distraction” for the last few days hasn’t it?!

    Vatican, Arab League sign peace deal

    ROME (AFP) 4-23  “The Vatican said Thursday it had signed a deal with the
    League of Arab States outlining cooperation aimed at promoting “peace,
    security and stability.”




    The agreement, signed by the Vatican’s senior diplomat Dominique
    Mamberti and Arab League’s Secretary-General Amr Mussa, comes ahead of
    Pope Benedict XVI’s trip to Jordan and Israel from May 8 to 15.




    The pact, which covers political and cultural cooperation, will be
    symbolically sealed when the pope hosts Mussa on Friday, Vatican
    spokesman Federico Lombardi told AFP.




    The League’s website lists its members as: Jordan, United Arab
    Emirates, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Sudan,
    Syria and Somalia.”
