World Christian leaders urge peace on Israel's 60 anniversary

More than 140 international Christian leaders signed a joint declaration on Israel's 60th anniversary calling for a just peace between Israeli and Palestinians, reports Ecumenical News International. The declaration was released to the media to coincide with Israel's celebration of the anniversary on 8 May. "We…urge all those working for peace and justice in Israel/Palestine to consider that any lasting solution must be built on the foundation of justice, which is rooted in the very character of God. After all, it is justice that 'will produce lasting peace and security'," they said, quoting from the prophet Isaiah (32:17) in the Bible.
