Antonio Tajani during the work in the Senate
War, Tajani: “We are heading towards a catastrophe that could last years. Everyone stop”
The government Melons it immediately met last night at the Palace Chigi after the rain missiles rained down Israel. The attack dell’Iran makes this war increasingly dangerous on a global level. The words of the deputy prime minister and foreign minister Antonio Tajani they are very hard. “Italy – Tajani tells Il Corriere della Sera – asks the government of Iran and the Israeli prime minister himself Netanyahu to curb the use of violence. He asks everyone, absolutely everyone, to stop the spiral of war. In these hours, one more missile from one side or the other could bring this war definitely out of control. We work with conviction to prevent the entire region from ending up in the abyss of a generalized war, a catastrophe that no one would be able to control, which it would bring death and devastation for years. The perspective in the region remains that of two states, that of Israel being able to coexist safely with a Palestinian state, and of a Lebanon that remains a stable country and an example of coexistence between various communities and religions”.
Tajani talks about the consequences of yesterday’s attack by Iran and sends a message to Israel about the Lebanon: “Don’t do as in Gaza, don’t bomb them, putting the population at risk. Israel’s intention – continues Tajani to Il Corriere – is to destroy Hezbollahand militarily push their militiamen north of the Litani river, to create a security belt in which Hezbollah’s arsenals are not present. But now the fight has escalated: let’s evaluate the damage that Iranian missiles will have caused to Israel. And if Israel decides on a counter-reaction we’ll see what their goals will be“.
Behind the official words, a possible turning point. Meloni and ministers Crosetto and Tajani – reports Il Corriere – have begun to discuss the possibility of having to negotiate with the United Nations an evacuation of a thousand Italian soldiers of the Unifil contingent. Nothing is decided yet. But after the dramatic incursion of the Israeli army into Lebanon and the Iranian reaction, Meloni, Tajani and Crosetto they are wondering about the safety of our military engaged in UN peace mission. How long can they stay in the bunkers? If the crisis were to worsen further, the profile of the mission would necessarily change, we would have to go through the Supreme Defense Council and vote again in Parliament.
