TRENTO (ITALPRESS) – “It is necessary to ensure that in Gaza we can proceed with the second phase after the truce: reconstruction, the recovery of normal life, the arrival of humanitarian aid”. Thus the vice-premier and foreign minister Antonio Tajani, in video connection with the Festival dell’Economia di Trento. “In Lebanon we believe that Italy can play an important role, especially to strengthen legitimate institutions,” he adds. “We try to give signals to Israel to realize that there is a limit beyond which one cannot go. We are friends of Israel, we have never denied it, but being friends also means being sincere – Tajani emphasizes –. Yesterday there was a document signed by four major European countries – Italy, Germany, France and Great Britain – then other countries were added, to say enough to the actions of the settlers. To occupy the territories of the Palestinian National Authority also compromises the peace strategy to have two peoples, two states. We were very hard after what happened with Flotilla activists, with Minister Ben-Gvir. Today the French Foreign Minister has supported the Italian position, that is to sanction as soon as possible the Minister of National Security who was responsible for the unworthy acts to which we witnessed the other day”.
ITALIA SARÀ PROTAGONISTA NELLO STRETTO DI HORMUZ
In the Strait of Hormuz “Italy will be the protagonist of the defense of free maritime circulation, as it is today in the Red Sea, with the Aspides mission. Of course we will participate in international missions once a stable ceasefire has been reached, we will not participate in any action of war,” the minister reiterated. “International missions can be under the banner of the UN, the EU, or with a coalition of willing. I do not think it could be a NATO mission because it is too involved, even with the presence of Turkey that would not be available to intervene in Iran”, adds Tajani. An international mission “will help accelerate the times of oil and gas supplies to our countries, as well as for fertilizers, which are also fundamental for agriculture in many African countries.”.
