In an interview with Italian News Website, Quotidiano
Nazionale, Tajani said, "Since the beginning of the
war in Gaza, Italy has
stopped sending any type of weapons to Israel. All of this is prohibited now;
we have halted all deliveries of weapons systems and military equipment of any
kind."
Tajani's statement was a response to claims made by the
Secretary of the opposition Democratic Party,
Elly Schlein, who called for a
cessation of arms supplies to the Middle East, especially to Israel, to prevent
further escalation of the ongoing war in the region. Tajani stated, “Shlain is
talking about things that do not exist. This is pure propaganda. The Democratic
Party should be better informed."
Furthermore, Tajani emphasized the need to end
Israel’s war on the strip, and establish a Palestinian state, adding that in the
transitional phase, there should be the presence of UN forces to ensure peace
and stability.
Regarding the crisis in the Red Sea, he clarified that, on
Monday, he would discuss in Brussels the possibility of sending a European
mission called Aspis, which means shield in Greek, to ensure freedom of
navigation, adding that Italy will present a document prepared with France and
Germany.
