Israel's Ambassador to Italy Jonathan Peled on Sunday expressed solidarity to the Jewish community of Bologna after the Emilia Romagna city's synagogue was vandalized the previous night following a protest against the death of Ramy Elgaml, the 19-year-old Italo-Egyptian Milan resident who died on November 24 in a scooter accident while being chased by the Carabinieri police. "

I express my closeness and solidarity to the Jewish community of Bologna, following the attacks carried out against the local Synagogue", the ambassador wrote on X. "A grave anti-Semitic attack, which must be condemned with absolute firmness", he wrote.
