Gaza, Tajani: ‘Peace closer, ready to rebuild’

Rome, 5 October (LaPresse) – "We have not yet achieved our goal, but peace in Gaza is closer. I have confidence in the work of Turkey, Qatar and Egypt to finally convince Hamas, and in the US to influence Israel. There are only a few hours left until the anniversary of that tragic 7 October. This war must end.‘ This was stated by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in an interview with Corriere della Sera. ’On 9 October in Paris, I will have a meeting with the foreign ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom and with the Arab countries, and afterwards, in Egypt, there will be a conference on reconstruction. We are ready to participate in a post-war political process for the reconstruction and reunification of Palestine, with the possibility of deploying our military if necessary. The Carabinieri are already in the West Bank, Italians are well regarded and this could be useful," he added. As for Italy's recognition of the State of Palestine. ‘We are working day by day, the first step is the end of the war. We are satisfied with how the vote in Parliament went with our proposed motion, there was no vote against it. Trump's is the only possible plan and we must support it. Being able to work on the strength of this parliamentary vote is positive. We will dedicate ourselves to the goal of building a true State of Palestine and recognising it,’ says Tajani.
