Netanyahu, Tajani to Salvini “Only line mine and Giorgia Meloni’s”

MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “Foreign policy must be done constructively. It is a serious thing. Every word has to be weighed, weighed, calibrated. There is a country involved. And so the line is expressed by the president of the Council and the foreign minister.” Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani says this to Repubblica, commenting on League leader and deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini’s statements on Netanyahu. “Then a party leader talks about what he wants,” he adds, “but they remain political opinions of party leaders, which, however, do not automatically become the line of the executive. I tend to avoid responding on behalf of the government on issues related to the competencies of other ministers.” “We first want to read the papers, understand the reasons for the ruling, reason about what the Court supports. We recognize and support the Criminal Court. But we do so while remembering that it must always have a legal and not a political view. In the midst of a war of this violence, the first objective of states, and of the Italian Republic, is to find political alliances to stop the deaths in Gaza and Lebanon, to return to a diplomatic path. We must bring peace to Gaza, we must not believe that bringing someone to jail helps peace,” the Forza Italia number one and deputy prime minister says again. “We are saying, the prime minister and I, that a ruling of this magnitude has a profound political effect on the management not of a conflict, but of its conclusion. You cannot equate and equate the democratically elected premier of Israel and a terrorist leader. It is one thing to point out the disproportionality of Israel’s response in the Strip, on which we all agree. Another is an arrest warrant. There are not three positions. There is only one: that of the prime minister, agreed with the foreign minister,” Tajani concludes.(ITALPRESS).
