Vatican to recognize the state of Palestine

[planosteve]

The Vatican has officially recognized Palestine in a new treaty that switches the Holy See's diplomatic relations from the Palestine Liberation Organization to the state of Palestine.

NPR's Sylvia Poggioli tells our Newscast unit the document still has to be signed.

The Vatican, in a statement, said the agreement had been concluded and will be "submitted to the respective authorities for approval ahead of setting a date in the near future for the signing."

"Yes, it's a recognition that the state exists," said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman.
