The Holy See’s Position on Palestine in Two Official Records

A 2015 bilateral agreement provides context for the Holy See’s 2024 UN address.

The Holy See and the State of Palestine signed a comprehensive agreement at the Vatican on June 26, 2015. In September 2024, Cardinal Pietro Parolin addressed the UN General Assembly as the Holy See’s secretary of state and discussed protection of humanitarian agencies, including UNRWA.

These documents establish a diplomatic relationship that preceded the present protest wave and provide a record of the Holy See’s public position during the war. They do not document protest-related damage or disruption within Vatican City.
