Iranian Crown Prince Makes Historic Visit to Israel

Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son of the deposed Shah of Iran, is visiting Israel to attend Holocaust Memorial Day events with President Issac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He hopes to speak of his vision for a democratic Iran and renewed ties with Israel. Pahlavi is seen as the hope of liberal Iranians and believes his family is still revered. He is expected to address the threats from Iran at the national event to be held at Yad Vashem in the evening. Pahlavi is scheduled to visit a water desalinization plant to learn about Israel's advanced technology in the field while Iran's water infrastructure is falling apart.
