Negara Palestina yang merdeka dengan wilayah yang cukup luas yang bisa 
menampung penduduk dan pengungsi Palestina, sehingga Bangsa Palestina bisa 
hidup layak di tanah yang berkecukupan tersebut. Jadi bukan negara dengan 
teritorial yang alakadarnya.

RAMALLAH, May 13, 2009 (WAFA)- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called,

neighbors, while Pope Benedict XVI, expressed the Vatican's support for the 
establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

President Abbas and the Pope met in Bethlehem, before the Pontiff's visit to 
the Church of Nativity and Aida Palestinian refugee camp.

'It is time to end the suffering of Palestinians people and reach a just peace 
based on the two-state solution,' Abbas said the pope’s reception ceremony at 
the Palestinian Presidential Palace in Bethlehem.

'Our people are still looking for justice and seek a just peace,' President 
Abbas stated.

The pope delivered support for the Palestinians' right of having a homeland. 
'The Holy See supports the right of your people to a sovereign Palestinian 
homeland in the land of your forefathers, secure and at peace with its 
neighbors, and within internationally recognized borders,' he said.

The pontiff also drew attention to the plight of the Palestinians who live in 
the Gaza Strip controlled by Islamic Hamas movement, saying his heart was with 
the families who have lost so much due to the recent hostilities.

'In a special way my heart goes out to the pilgrims from war-torn Gaza,' he 
said later at an open air mass in Bethlehem’s Manger Square attended by 
thousands of pilgrims, Muslim Religious personalities, and some pilgrims from 
Gaza.

'I ask you to bring back to your families and your communities my warm embrace 
and my sorrow for the loss, the hardship and the suffering you have had to 
endure,' he said.
