Italy "firmly rejects every form of hatred and discrimination", premier Mario Draghi said during a visit Tuesday to Israel's Yad Vashem memorial to the six million Jews killed by the Nazis during the World War II Holocaust.
"Yad Vashem testifies to the horrors of the Shoah (Holocaust), but also to the courage of those who opposed it," Draghi stated.
"It reminds us of the duty to remember and fight indifference, to fight anti-Semitism," Draghi continued.
"Italy is strongly committed to the defence of human dignity and firmly rejects every form of hatred and discrimination," Draghi underlined.
Draghi signed Vashem's Book of Honour and spent almost two hours at the Holocaust History Museum, where he attended a remembrance ceremony.
Draghi is on a two-day visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories through Tuesday.
