A long-overdue diplomatic agreement between the Vatican and Israel is finally near completion, according to a senior Israeli negotiator.
The Vatican-Israeli accord, under negotiation since 1993, is intended to establish the juridical rights of the Catholic Church in Israel.
The agreement also covers the issue of expropriating Church property for infrastructure purposes, with a reported list of five sites — including the Mount of Beatitudes, Capernaum and the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth — where expropriation would not be allowed except for public safety in situations of emergency.
