"Israel and Saudi Arabia are two allies that cause the most trouble and global apprehension, former Italian Prime Minister Massimo D’Alema said on Monday, calling it a mistake to follow the lead of Saudi and Israel." "The former Prime Minster also said cited the new Saudi government’s policies in Yemen as evidence of a “hostile and worrisome point of view.” “I knew Prince Faisal very well. He was foreign minister for 39 years,” D’Alema said, adding that the late king Abdullah had conveyed interest in the destruction of Shia Iran by an atomic bomb."
