Prince Reza Pahlavi has prayed for peace between Israel and Iran on a visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The exiled son of the Shah voiced his hopes that one day in the future the two nations can resume their historical friendship. Publishing a photo of himself at the Western Wall on Tuesday, Pahlavi tweeted that 2,500 years ago, Cyrus the Great liberated the Jewish people from captivity and helped them rebuild their Temple in Jerusalem. He said: “It is with profound awe that I visit the Western Wall of that Temple and pray for the day when the good people of Iran and Israel can renew our historic friendship.”
