Pope sees "signs of hope" for Israel-Palestine
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict, in his Easter message, said there were "some signs of hope" in the dialogue between Israel and the Palestinian authority.
His comments followed the formation of a Palestinian unity government last month. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also said on Friday an Israeli soldier, abducted by Gaza militants 10 months ago in a cross-border raid, would be released soon.
