FLORENCE (ITALPRESS) – With the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar “Israel has achieved a military victory, that is beyond doubt. This allows us, who are friends of Israel, to push more favorably for a cease-fire in Gaza, obviously accompanied by the release of all hostages. This is what I will say the day after tomorrow to the Israeli authorities. I am absolutely convinced that this is a path to follow and this military affair must be used positively for the ceasefire.” Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said this while speaking via streaming at the Luce festival being held in Florence. “The idea of two peoples and two states is the only way to guarantee a lasting and stable peace. It means that Israel recognizes Palestine and Palestine recognizes Israel, I don’t believe in unilateral recognitions. First we need to unify Palestine,” but “all those who have chosen to unilaterally recognize Palestine have achieved nothing and the war continues,” he added. “I think Italy must remain in Lebanon. Unifil has to be strengthened because I think the only way to guarantee stability is to strengthen the territorial buffer role that has to be there between Israel in the south and Lebanon in the north. I believe that in order to guarantee security for Israel, the role of the Lebanese Armed Forces, which are guardians of democracy and are certainly not linked to fundamentalists, will also have to be reinforced,” the minister concluded.
