Zolli converted when he was not named Chief Rabbi of Israel. It was a sour grapes move.

Utter nonsense.

Your completely unsubstantiated accusation is as petty as it is false.

Zolli did not put himself forward as Chief Rabbi for Israel.

When Zolli converted in 1945, the Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi of Israel was Yitzhak Herzog, who was only 57 years old and in good health, and Herzog had already held the office for almost a decade when Zolli converted.

There was no vacancy and there was no question of Zolli replacing the well-respected and established incumbent.

You should quit making stuff up.

Wrong - he was sour grapes. He wanted to be the Chief Rabbi of Israel and it did not work out for hiim - he knew he would never be named. I know more about this than you do.
