Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi’s visit to Israel has reached its conclusion, and Pahlavi described it as “unforgettable.”
Pahlavi arrived in Israel earlier this week, and attended the official state ceremony marking the start of Holocaust Remembrance Day at Jerusalem”s Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum.
He told i24NEWS that, “Today, when we have the regime that denies the Holocaust has ever occurred, it’s my duty to be here representing my fellow compatriots, to honor the victims of the Holocaust and pay my respects to this nation and its people.”
Later, he told Maariv that, “Negotiations are not going to help with the Iranian regime. It’s clear that no one wants war, including Israel. Therefore, we are left with the sole option of the Iranian people themselves. Each and every one of them is an ally of yours.”
On Friday, Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel (Likud), who led the visit, said, “I thank Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and his wife Princess Yasmin Pahlavi for their unforgettable visit, which is of strategic importance to both nations.”

“The Crown Prince showed everyone that the Iranian nation has a courageous leadership, which promotes peace, human rights, and democracy, and which is completely different than the extremists which rule Iran today, through terror and fear. Together, we have begun to rebuild the bridges between the nations, with the purpose of returning the former glory. We will continue to stand together against the axis of evil which aspires to destroy the State of Israel and to create chaos in the entire Middle East.”
Pahlavi said, “I offer my deepest thanks to the nation of Israel, to President Herzog, to Prime Minister Netanyahu, to Minister Gamliel, and to all the other honorable individuals – the water and agriculture experts, and the amazing business leaders of the Iranian diaspora, for turning Yasmin’s and my first visit in Israel into something unforgettable.”
“I am happy to help reignite the warm connections between our peoples. A democratic Iran will work to re-establish cultural, scientific, and economic ties with Israel and our Arab neighbors – perhaps as part of future Koresh Agreements. In my opinion, today it is closer than ever.”
