| You were telling me that your current prime minister, she's a legitimate conservative, and I know that. | |
| I have not followed this. | |
| What is the Italian government's stance on Israel right now? | |

| So she was in favor of sending money to Ukraine. | |
| She's in favor of supporting Israel. | |
| She is in favor of supporting Israel. | |
| Is that what you said? | |
| Yes. | |
| So would you say that in that sense, Italy is not following the general pattern of European governments? | |
| I'm not quite sure about that. | |
| I don't think... | |
| No, only because the general view of the EU and the Democratic Party in the United States is Israel should stop fighting. | |
| Yes, yes. | |
| So is that the view of the Italian government? | |

| I couldn't tell you that because I'm not sure what the position is. | |

| Are well-educated young Italians as anti-Israel as well-educated young Americans are? | |
| Yes, absolutely. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| The same thing you see in the U.S. is happening in Italy. |
