Pope Francis is calling for a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, saying that they are "two peoples who have to live together," a report says.
Francis made the remark Wednesday during an interview with Italian state television channel RAI, when he also said he hopes a regional escalation of the war can be avoided, according to Reuters.
"[Those are] two peoples who have to live together. With that wise solution, two states. The Oslo accords, two well-defined states and Jerusalem with a special status," Francis was quoted as saying.

There can't be a two state solution as long as one of those "states" is determined to destroy the other. If Frank thinks Muslims will ever allow Jews (and Christians) to live in peace he's dumber than I thought.

Pope Francis, forget about it, pal. Best you re-review your biblical history. I am sure Archbishop Vigano can help you with this. The Israelis owned and controlled the land that hamas and its followers currently squat on. The name palestine was cooked by the Romans when the Romans took the land from the Israelites.

Hey Pope. Stay in your own lane.

People keep calling for a two state "solution" to peace in Israel/Palestine. That sounds like a great idea, but the Arabs have categorically, and repeatedly, rejected it. Until the Arabs are willing to accept a two state solution, it is a non-starter.

Sure, because a two-state solution has worked so well up to this point. Here's an idea. Make the Palestinian state somewhere off the cost of Antartica. Maybe on a small iceberg that's slowly drifting north into warmer waters. Then tell the Pals to swim.

There is already a second state for the Arsbs/Muslims. It is called Jordan. That is/was the original two state solution which everyone seems to have forgotten or conveniently ignores.

From a loyal, practicing Catholic: Holy Father, with all due respect, the "Palestinians" have been offered a two state solution for at least two decades, and have turned these offers down every time.
Why: because their goal is one "Palestinian" state, with Israel -- and as many Jews as possible -- wiped off the face of the earth.

Holy Father is not believed by Catholics to have any special insight into politics. He's just a person. No need to hyperventilate over his mistakes.

The so-called Pope seems to be unaware that Hamas and their fellow travelers have said “no” to the two state solution multiple times.

Does he know that has been offered before and rejected? The Palestinian leadership doesn't want two states. They only want one--theirs.

Francis would be willing to push a two state solution between Heaven and Hell. He's Francis the Heretic in my book.

I highly doubt that Netanyahu plans to follow the advice of a Catholic Pope on their relationship with Hamas terrorists. He is busy destroying them. The Pope needs to butt out.

The problem for the USA is that Biden will follow the Pope’s lead on a so-called two state solution that common since will tell you that will never work out as both sides are in the position that they intent to annihilate each other in a religious based conflict that has been going on for over a thousand years. It’s evident the Biden will follow the Pope’s lead on what he calls irregular migrants, just as he (Biden) has been doing with “open borders” for unlimited mass uncontrolled illegal immigration into the USA since he (Biden) has done since assuming office.

Tried it more than once. The Muslims don't want to live next to Jews. In fact, they don't want Jews to live at all. Have the final battle and get it over with. Enough of this rinse, repeat cycle.
