Pope Francis on Sunday warned against “unfair solutions” to the conflict between Palestine and Israel, during a speech on his visit to the southern Bari province of Italy.
The pope also referred to the threats to the Mediterranean region, Middle East, different countries of North Africa and between various ethnic, or religious groups.
“The Mediterranean region is currently threatened by outbreaks of instability and conflict, both in the Middle East and different countries of North Africa, as well as between various ethnic, religious or confessional groups.

“Nor can we overlook the still unresolved conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, with the danger of inequitable solutions, and, hence, a prelude to new crises,” he said.
His remarks are believed to be in response to the peace plan announced by the U.S. President Donald Trump for the Middle East.
On Jan. 28, Trump unveiled the controversial “Deal of the Century” to end one of the longest-running disputes in the Middle East.
