(Finance) – The Prime Minister, Georgie Melonsstated that on mission Unifil “the red line is that all partners must guarantee the safety of these soldiers. I was very clear on this with all my interlocutors, because it is international personnel, even on a human level there are men and women who do not see their children, who they don’t spend Christmas at home, they are here to help other nations for their stabilization and therefore respect for these men and women is the least I expect”. At a press point in Beirut during his visit to Lebanon And Jordan.
“There resolution 1701 must be fully implemented – he underlined –. There are many issues that we have discussed but the Italian commitment is certainly there to arrive at a deescalation and a ceasefire, even temporary, to the release of the hostages, to help the civilian populations to begin to rebuild, to imagine for the crisis Middle Eastern also a structural solution two peoples, two states“.
“We will need a phrase, a transitional phase and a definitive phase – continued Meloni –. We need to get to work. I think that all the efforts that can be made at this moment must be made. We have no other weapons other than that of diplomacy. But if we are unable to listen to our interlocutors and make our interlocutors listen to us, diplomacy cannot be exercised. This is the reason why I came here today.”
“We came here above all to reiterate the commitment Italian for a ceasefire. Italy has promoted, together with other nations, a proposal to cease-fire for 21 days. I think an effort is needed now part Israeli“Meloni said.
