Where terrified Israelis had only weeks earlier come under a hail of rockets from Iran, a young Iranian man brought a message of love, hope and reconciliation to the streets of Tel Aviv.

Unashamed and unabashed, Rami (whose surname is withheld for security reasons) declared how his life had changed through the Jewish Messiah and prayed that Israel and Iran would once again be friends.
