ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “It is the first time in these turbulent years that I can share a feeling of relief and hope for the future. The peace plan could be a historical turning point that changes the face of the Middle East.” So the deputypremier and foreign minister, Antonio Tajani, in the course of the urgent information to the House, but underlined that “the success of the Trump plan is hung on a thread, many are the variables that have not yet been defined. However, that thread of hope is becoming solid.”.
“It is crucial now to consolidate the conditions for peace to endure in the perspective of two States which live in peace and security. Everything that makes the journey more difficult, such as the delays of the return of the psalms compared to the agreed times, is to be deplored firmly”, is the thought of the vice-premier on the lack of respect for the timing by Hamas.
“There was an emotional wave and unequal media attention compared to other crisis situations, precisely because of the symbolic value of these places. Sincere attention, while there were few, although noisy, cases of instrumentalization or anti-Semitic prejudice. Anti-Semitism must be fought everywhere and in every way with all the strength that democratic systems have,” he added.
“Today is the day of hope, that the light of hope that we have seen in the eyes of the children of Gaza and that of the families of Israelis who have been able to embrace their loved ones. We must not feed premature illusions, the path is long, prudence is necessary but, as Cardinal Pizzaballa said, ‘we see the first lights of dawn after a long night’, he stressed.
“Recognition of the State of Palestine, when there will be the conditions that have also been put by Parliament, is now closer,” he said.
“I decided to appoint Ambassador Archi, Ambassador to the FAO, as a new special envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the reconstruction of Gaza, including humanitarian aspects. It will be the reference point of the Farnesina,” Tajani revealed.
“The road is drawn, I think no one wants to go back and Italy is ready to do its part. It is time to start a path of development of the Strip, reconstruction must also be moral because it will be the first form against radicalization. It is essential to focus on schools to offer a prosperous and peaceful future. Where there is prosperity there is also security,” he concluded.
