• Pope John Paul II meets with PLO leader Yasser Arafat On September 15, 1982, Pope John Paul II held a private 20-minute audience with Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), at the Vatican. During the meeting, the Pope emphasized the rights of all peoples to their own homeland and called for a just Middle East peace, urging both Arabs and Jews to cease violence. The Vatican's statement used the term 'homeland' ('patria') rather than specifying a state or nation, reflecting the Church's nuanced position on Palestinian statehood. This meeting was controversial, with Israeli officials expressing concern that it could legitimize the PLO. The Pope also appealed for the internationalization of Jerusalem, advocating for it to be a city where followers of all three major monotheistic religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—could live in liberty and equality. source: upi.com
