High Vatican sources today reiterated that the Roman Catholic Church does not favor the designation of Jerusalem as the Israel capital and that the Church desires that Jerusalem be internationalized.

The Vatican officials said this in comment on the publication of an interview given by Israel Prime Minister David Ben Gurion in Jerusalem in which Mr. Ben Gurion was quoted as saying” Jerusalem is again 100 per cent Jewish and is the capital of Israel.”
