Members of the right-wing Lega party in Italy demonstrated solidarity with Israel on Wednesday in the Italian parliament by displaying Israeli flags. On another note, Israel’s ambassador to Italy Dror Eydar wrote a “letter” [in Italian] to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who visited Rome this week. His letter went viral and was quoted on many news sites. Below is an English translation. “Hello, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif: While you were visiting wonderful Rome yesterday, I was in Israel with my young daughters, under fire of the terror attacks Hamas unleashed on Israel – with your funding, your encouragement, and your guidance. תודה למפלגת לגה בפרלמנט האיטלקי היום במפגן הזדהות עם ישראל. כל הכבוד! 🇮🇱❤️🇮🇹Ringrazio il Gruppo parlamentare della Lega alla Camera dei deputati, per aver manifestato pubblicamente solidarietà a Israele! Emozionante! pic.twitter.com/rVjGegmAiX — Amb. Dror Eydar דרור אֵידָר (@droreydar) May 19, 2021 “Since last Monday Hamas has launched about 3,300 rockets against Israeli cities and civilian targets, including Jerusalem, violating its sanctity – inspired and encouraged by you. “The Middle East has been unstable for years due to your subversive interference.

Israel is collaborating with Italy to research and develop drugs to cure the disease for the benefit of the entire world. But instead of joining efforts to eradicate the disease, you prefer to invest your efforts to encourage murders and incite against the only Jewish state in the world. What we heard only 80 years ago in Europe in German, you say today in Farsi. “Contrary to your false propaganda, you are not only opposed to the existence of the State of Israel, but you oppose our very existence as an independent people in the world. You have the dubious honor of being the only country in the world to organize an anti-Semitic caricature festival. “Any moderate element in the Middle East that tries to implement normalization with Israel, you threaten and plot against.
