Dr. Daisy Stern has provided as series of documents to the court. An informal review of this information follows:
The most relevant are these:
- Vatican offers swap deal to regain site of Last Supper (The Times Online - October 13, 2005)
- Fundamental Agreement - Israel-Holy See Israeli Government, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (30 Dec 1993)
Dr. Daisy Stern also provided analysis and other documents to the court which attempt to provide context to the above reports. Some of the documents include:
- The Vatican Agenda Analysis by Joel Bainerman
- Hope for a conclusion in Holy See-Israel talks before Pope's arrival in Holy Land (AsiaNews)
- ...to continue negotiating a treaty that would confirm the fiscal status of the Church in Israel, and safeguard her properties, especially the sacred places, as well as bring about restitution of some that have been lost over time.
- Interest has been aroused by the fact that this time the communiqué speaks of "progress" that was achieved, beyond repeating the usual references to an atmosphere of "great cordiality"
- Olmert to tell Pope about Israel’s high regard for Catholic Church, says Israeli diplomat (AsiaNews)
- According to some sources, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak had promised to hand over the Cenacle to the Church to Pope John Paul II during his historic visit to Israel in March 2000.
- Whatever the case, it has been known for quite a while that the issue is on the agenda of the Joint Holy See-Israel Commission. In fact, the Joint Commission is scheduled to meet tomorrow in Jerusalem to iron out some issues relating the 1993 Fundamental Agreement which has not yet been implemented in Israel.
More information can be obtained by writing Dr. Daisy Stern or the Secretary of the nascent Sanhedrin.
While the nascent Sanhedrin has not attempted to ascertain the veracity of any of these claims, it did see fit to reiterate the halachic position forbidding the transfer of national, religious, and spiritual assets to foreign sovereignty. The court also pointed out the illegality and potentially disastrous results of the efforts of those both inside the government and outside it which appear to be doing so.
