Isn't Ratzinger the one that was behind the announcement that the Jews can reject Jesus and find salvation, as they continue to wait for their own savior?

There was no such announcement.

It is contrary to the Catholic faith to consider the different religions of the world as ways of salvation complementary to the Church. ... According to Catholic doctrine, the followers of other religions are oriented to the Church and are all called to become part of her. - Cardinal Ratzinger

A 210-page document titled “The Jewish People and the Holy Scriptures in the Christian Bible,” by the Pontifical Biblical Commission and authorized by the Vatican’s top theologian, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, reportedly states that “the Jewish messianic wait is not in vain.”

It reportedly says Jews and Christians share their wait for the Messiah, although Jews are waiting for the first coming and Christians for the second.

The new document also reportedly contains an apology to the Jewish people for anti-Semitic passages contained in the New Testament, and also stresses the continuing importance of the Torah for Christians.
