Israel’s intelligence minister, Gila Gamliel, is hosting Prince Reza Pahlavi in Jerusalem
Most who oppose the clerical regime also express friendly and supportive attitudes toward Israel, seeing the government’s financial and military backing of anti-Israeli forces in the region as a waste of national wealth. The visit by Pahlavi is a significant step toward rebuilding ties between the Iranian and Israeli peoples, said Israel’s Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel. Pahlavi has long insisted on establishing a democratic and secular political system, leaving it up to the people to decide whether they want to re-establish constitutional monarchy or a republic once the Islamic regime is gone.
