طالب رئيس الوزراء الإيطالي اليميني "سيلفيو بيرلسكوني" - في زيارته الأخيرة للأراضي المحتلة بصحبة وفد من ثمانية وزراء - بانضمام إسرائيل إلى الاتحاد الأوروبي، مؤكدًا أن المؤسسات التابعة للاتحاد الأوروبي يجب أن تخضع فقط للثقافة المشتركة بين اليهود والنصارى.

وقد رحبت الصحافة الإسرائيلية بتصريحات "بيرلسكوني"، ووصفته بالصديق؛ حيث أفصح عن أن انضمام "إسرائيل" حلم لا يزال يراوده.

وتعد "إيطاليا" من حلفاء إسرائيل الكبار، بالرغم من العلاقات التجارية التي تربط "إيطاليا" بـ"إيران".

واعتبر المحللون أن تصريحات "بيرلسكوني" التي صدق عليها القادة الإسرائيليون يُراد بها التلميح برفض عضوية "تركيا" المسلمة للاتحاد الأوروبي.

Bring Israel into European Union, says Berlusconi

ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has called for Israel to be ''brought into the European Union'', arguing that the western foundations of the EU should be ''us and the Judaeo-Christian cultures''.

At the beginning of his three-day visit to Israel and the occupied territories, Mr Berlusconi described bringing ''Tel Aviv into Europe'' as his personal dream and was greeted by feverish newspaper headlines in Israel that urged readers to ''listen to our friend Berlusconi''.

The Italian leader was accompanied by eight senior cabinet ministers for the high-level trade summit, revealing his commitment to strengthen Italy's alliance with Israel.

The visit was warm, despite the fact that Italy is one of Iran's biggest trading partners within the EU.

Israel has campaigned for further sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.

Speaking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his arrival on Monday, Mr Berlusconi said his greatest desire was to bring Israel into the European Union.

''Italy and Israel are two close nations and it is important that it is us, with our Judaeo-Christian cultures, who remain the foundation of European Western civilisation,'' Mr Berlusconi said.

''Israel is a nation-leader in the battle for liberty and for peace".

The remarks come as Turkey, a majority Muslim country, continues its quest for EU membership, an effort Mr Berlusconi has also publicly supported, in stark contrast to some European leaders.

Mr Berlusconi, who is due to meet Israeli President Shimon Peres as well as opposition leader Tzipi Livni, attended a tree-planting organised by the Jewish National Fund as well as the Jerusalem Holocaust Museum, Yad Vashem.

In the museum's guest book, he left a short inscription that read: ''Our souls shout, 'This cannot be, this isn't true'. But then, our soul realises and screams, 'Never, never again'".

During the Jewish National Fund event, he spoke of wanting to bring the median lifespan for men to '' 120 years, something not impossible'' in light of leaps in longevity, and made an appointment to return to the site in  47 years.
