Matteo Renzi considers Iranian regime ‘main problem’ of the Middle East, says left should learn to understand, support Israel.
“The main problem of the area is Iran − if we don’t solve that one we will not be able to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” he said during a 2012 debate, adding that Europe needed to “listen to the cry of pain of the Green Wave,” referring to the protests that had followed the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
