After the spread of Press release with the strong criticism Vatican – especially against the words of the Secretary of State of the Holy See, the Cardinal Pietro Parolin -L“Israeli Embassy in the Vatican Try to correct the shot. It does after 24 hours from the distribution of the text to the “indication” that there was one wrong translation the press release, which was originally in English. In particular, the translation of the word “regrettable” serves as a basis. Whoever translated the text from the embassy chose the Italian word “regrettable“referring precisely to the statement of Cardinal Parolin, in reality – they declare today -“could also have been more accurately translated as “unhappy”.“.
Therefore, the original sentence “It is a regrettable explanation” was translated as “It is a regrettable explanation” instead of “It is a regrettable explanation”.That is an unfortunate statement“. Therefore, a less harsh sentence than the one chosen in the text translated into Italian released by the embassy itself. What provoked the criticism of the Israeli embassy to the Holy See were the words of the Vatican cardinal and foreign minister, who limited himself to a “clear and unreserved condemnation of the events of October 7”, that is, the Hamas attack, and “of… “to express any kind of anti-Semitism, I repeat”, also with the “request” that “Israel's right to defense must be proportionate“. Then he remarked, “Of course With 30,000 deaths, this is not the case“.
But beyond the statement, which was today defined as “regrettable” (and no longer “regrettable”), the Israeli Embassy's statement accused Parolin of “judging the legitimacy of a war without taking into account all relevant circumstances and data.” , which “inevitably…” leads to false conclusions“. According to Israeli diplomats in the Vatican, “responsibility for the death and destruction in Gaza” lies with “Hamas and Hamas alone.” Message that also directly attacked the Palestinian population of Gaza: “So did the civilians of Gaza actively participated to the unprovoked invasion of Israeli territory on October 7, in which civilians were killed, raped and taken hostage. All these acts are defined as war crimes.” And there was also a defense of the Israeli army’s operations, which – according to the ambassador – take place “in…” full compliance with international law“. Words uttered in days in which doubts about the IDF's actions were expressed by many quarters, including the United States.
