"This is a moment of testing for us. We are certainly not saints. We have made, and unfortunately we will probably make, mistakes too. But this is also a moment of testing for our friends, from friendly countries. The hour in which we see who is there alongside. Those who are truly committed to the security of Israel and do not limit themselves to using this slogan on days of calm, just to relieve themselves of the obligation".
This was stated by the Israeli ambassador to Rome, Alon Bar, speaking at the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and Israel.
