Mideast peace chances fading, warns president of Canadian bishops

Calling Gaza “an open air prison,” the president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and bishops from Europe and the United States are warning that peace between Palestine and Israel is slipping away.

“You end up with what is tantamount to a prison basically,” Archbishop Richard Gagnon told The Catholic Register on his return from a Jan. 11 to 16 visit by bishops of the Holy Land Co-ordination group.

“The Israelis don’t like that terminology, but having been in prison ministry for some time I can tell you it’s easier to visit a prisoner in one of our Canadian prisons than to get into Gaza and get out.”
