The Vatican will formally recognize Palestinian statehood. The Vatican has always held that a two-state agreement between Palestinians and Israelites is the best option to bring an end to the long fought war between the two groups. Currently, 135 countries recognize Palestine as a state. Pope Francis has angered many Jews and Israelites, yet excited many Arabs. The Pope plans on canonizing a couple Palestinian nuns and will meet with Palestinian authorities then to make the recognition official. Recently, the Pope has made some big news such as urging westerners not to bomb Syria, claiming the killings of Armenians to be a genocide, and helped the US and Cuba create a more amicable relationship.
