TEHRAN -- The representative of the Iranian Jewish community in the parliament on Saturday described the relationship between the government of late President Ebrahim Raisi and the Jewish community as “positive and constructive.”
“The relationship between the administration of President Raisi with the Jewish community of Iran was very excellent and the cooperation between the administration and the Jewish community was very remarkable and the president had a very good relationship with the Jewish community in different sectors,” Homayoon Sameh Yeh Najafabadi told Press TV. 
Najafabadi said that during the term of President Raisi, ”remarkable” support was provided for Jewish schools in Tehran that had various problems, adding that these problems have been solved through the cooperation and support provided by the government.

The lawmaker also said President Raisi provided for a Jewish charity hospital in Iran to resume its operation after it had been forced to close following the coronavirus pandemic.
He said the Jewish community received “remarkable funds” from the government for social, cultural and sports issues in Tehran and other cities across the country, adding that “President Raisi will be remembered among the Jewish community.”  
Najafabadi also stated that the Jewish community lives comfortably and peacefully with other groups of society in Iran, stressing that there is no sign of anti-Semitism in the country against members of the Jewish community and that they are respected by all government officials.
