New York, NY, July 1, 2008 … Meeting with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in Rome, Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), praised Italy for its special relationship with the U.S. and Israel and for standing firm against a nuclear Iran, and said Italy was uniquely positioned to play an important role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Italy's standing as friend of the Arab world, friend of Israel, friend of the Palestinians and friend of the United States could give it a special role in helping bring the parties together," said Mr. Foxman, who spent a week in Rome, June 23-27, meeting with officials in the newly elected Italian government, as well as with Jewish community leaders and Vatican representatives.
