Albania officially launched its pro-parliamentary group in the Albanian Parliament in the capital, Tirana, on Monday. This initiative aims to work in cooperation with the international coalition of pro-Israel parliamentary groups to enhance ‘faith-based diplomacy’ and support political and diplomatic relations with Israel, according to the Israeli newspaper ‘Jerusalem Post.’ The group is chaired by Romina Kuko from the Socialist Party and Gazmend Bardhi from the Democratic Party, in a rare move that brings together representatives from both the majority and the opposition. Bardhi stated, ‘I am honored to participate in launching a new chapter of lasting friendship with Israel. This initiative embodies our shared values and deep historical ties. Albania’s rescue of Jews during World War II will remain a proud symbol of our humanity and courage. Through this platform, we reinforce our partnership in promoting peace, coexistence, and human dignity.’
