Letta made the comments during a visit to Rome’s Synagogue on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Letta pledged that “we will resist always the forces of violence, first verbal then physical, intolerance, xenophobia and racism, and these temptations that are a detriment.”
The Italian leader attended the lighting of the menorah for the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah with Netanyahu. Afterward, he expressed hope that the light would offer hope to Italy, “which needs it.”
Netanyahu is on a visit to Italy, which will include a meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Monday.

Interesting how the Italian Prime Minister is wearing a yarmulka while Netanyahu isn’t and on the same note how his wife knows to dress more respectfully in a synagogue than Bibi’s wife
Bibi! Where is your kippah?!
Bibi IS wearing a yarmulke. Please see picture 6.
Takeh ah Shanda!
It would be bad enough even if the Italian Prime-minister wasn’t wearing a Kippah.
But this is a disgrace.
# 1 and #2 check on the 5th picture from the bottom up u will see Bibi with a kippah, next time check b4 u talk
Bibi is wearing one but I must agree the Italian wears it much more natural!
UHU!!!! Your right!!!!! He does have something hanging next to his neck. He didn’t have to wear it though. He could’ve just wore it in his picket.
And what about his wife? looking ALMOST as jewish (tsniusdig) as the Italian PM’s wife. what a Disgrace. The Italian PM”s wife should give Mr’s bibi a lesson on tsnius!!!!!!!
The Italian Prime Minister’s wife has much more class that Sara.
