Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani mentioned Wednesday that Gaza wants a “civil government” and that each one G-7 international locations are working in the direction of a two-state answer to the battle.
“I will reiterate to Israeli authorities that Italy aims at a ‘civil government’ in Palestine, to a two-state solution. The two people, two states is the only possible solution, albeit a difficult one,” he instructed journalists at a press convention on the priorities of this yr’s Italian presidency of the G-7.
“Is it a dream? Sometimes impossible dreams can come true and we have to pursue them. All G-7 countries are working with this objective.”
Tajani mentioned the objectives of the Italian presidency of the G-7 shall be worldwide cohesion and stability, with the precedence being stabilizing the Middle East, the place Italy will work for a de-escalation of the battle.
To that finish, he mentioned, he shall be on a diplomatic mission to Israel, Lebanon and Palestine within the coming days “to bring a message of peace and dialogue.”
“We don’t want the situation to worsen, our initiatives go in that direction. We are moving in a very balanced way. We have condemned the inhuman attack by Hamas and we forcefully ask for the liberation of the hostages. We have urged Israel from the beginning to have a proportionate reaction,” he mentioned.
He added that Gaza’s civilian inhabitants has no accountability, saying that “not all Palestinians are terrorists.”
“The profanation of corpses has been an act of cowardice. What happened was a war crime of which we don’t talk about enough,” he mentioned.
Israel declared battle on Hamas after the group’s Oct. 7 cross-border offensive, believed to have killed 1,200 individuals and taking an additional 240 hostage.
Israel’s bombardment of Hamas-ruled Gaza has to this point killed greater than 24,000 individuals, most of them ladies and kids, and displaced 1.9 million of the enclave’s greater than 2.2 million inhabitants. The assaults have additionally led to acute shortages of meals, clear water and drugs.
