Holy See–Israel relations deals with the attitude of the Holy See towards the State of Israel and the diplomatic relations between the two states which were established in 1993 after the adoption of the Fundamental Accord by the two States on 30 December 1993. A Vatican Nunciature in Israel and an Israeli embassy in Rome were established on 19 January 1994. From the Vatican's point of view, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two states is part of the Christian–Jewish reconciliation; and from the Israeli point of view, the normalisation of diplomatic relations. Prior to the establishment of diplomatic relations, the interests of the Catholic Church in Israel were looked after by the Apostolic Delegate to Jerusalem and Palestine, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Custodian of the Holy Land, all of which continue to function. Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo〔Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo previously served as the Apostolic Delegate to Jerusalem and Palestine.〕 was appointed as the first Apostolic Nuncio to Israel, Shmuel Hadas was appointed first Israeli Ambassador to the Holy See, in September of that year. The present Nuncio to Israel is Giuseppe Lazzarotto, who was appointed on 20 August 2012. He follows Antonio Franco, who was appointed in 2006, Pietro Sambi, who was appointed in 1998, and the first Nuncio to Israel, Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo. The present Israeli Ambassador to the Holy See is , who was appointed on 31 July 2012. He follows Mordechay Lewy,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CNS Story: Israeli ambassador emphasizes 'smoothing things up' at Vatican )〕 who was appointed in May 2008, Oded Ben-Hur (from June 2003), Yosef Neville Lamdan (from September 2000), Aharon Lopez (from April 1997), and Shmuel Hadas (from September 1994). ==The diplomatic relations between Israel and the Holy See== The Fundamental Agreement Between the Holy See and the State of Israel was signed by the Holy See and the State of Israel on 30 December 1993. It deals with the property rights and tax exemptions of the Roman Catholic Church within Israeli territory. As a result of the Agreement, the Vatican established on June 15, 1994 full diplomatic relations with Israel,〔( Press briefing: Establishment of diplomatic relations with the Holy See )〕 and appointed an Apostolic Nuncio to Israel. Several outstanding issues had still to be resolved. On 10 November 1997, the Vatican and Israel entered into a further agreement, called (Agreement Between the State of Israel and the Holy See ), also referred to as the Legal Personality Agreement or the Agreement on the Legal Personality of the Church, but neither of these agreements have been passed by the Knesset. By the agreement, Israel recognised the juridical personality and the authority of canon law within the Catholic Church and its institutions, as well as those of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and of the Eastern Catholic Patriarchates and their respective dioceses in the territory of Israel, and their recognition of prevailing Israeli law in civil and criminal matters.〔("Israel-Vatican Diplomatic Relations" ) on the (Israeli Foreign Ministry web site )〕 Diplomatic tensions often arise due to the non-resolution of the accords relating to property rights and tax exemptions for the Church in Israel, the political activism of clergy in Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and the interplay between Israel-Vatican relations – on one hand – and the Jewish-Catholic inter-religious dialogue – on the other. The main concerns of the Vatican in Israel is the protection of the Latin Rite Catholic churches, its properties and assets, and of the Holy places. Israel, for its part, has often taken offense at matters perceived by the church to be internal, but of religious/historical consequence by the Israel and Jews around the world (e.g. the beatification of Pope Pius XII, the pardoning of a Holocaust-denying priest, (the subordination of inter-religious dialogue to evangelical aims ), etc.). However, relations remain tense because of the non-fulfillment of the accords giving property rights and tax exemptions to the Vatican. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holy See–Israel relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
