Exiled Iranian Prince to Make Historic Visit to Israel

Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the Iranian Shah toppled in the 1979 Islamic revolution, will visit Israel this week to take part in the official Holocaust memorial ceremony. Israel called him the "most senior Iranian personality" to ever pay a public visit to Israel and said the visit is meant to create "a bridge between Israel and the Iranian people, and expressing joint opposition to the Ayatollah regime." Pahlavi expressed hope for a democratic Iran that will renew ties with Israel and Arab neighbors.
