Fouad Twai, declared that "Israel's existence has nothing to do with the Bible."

highest levels in the Catholic Church. The Vatican synod in 2010 declared that
Israel cannot use the Biblical concept of a promised land or a chosen people.

synod's document said. "There is no longer a chosen people. The concept of the
promised land cannot be used as a base for the justification of the return of
Jews to Israel and the displacement of Palestinians." In a period when the

collaboration with the PLO.
