Meloni: ‘Italy ready to implement military presence with UN approval’

Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt), 13 October (LaPresse) – “In terms of security, our Carabinieri have been training the Palestinian police in Jericho for years. We are also involved in the EU mission in Rafah. We are ready to implement this presence, up to and including participation in a stabilisation force. This requires parliamentary approval. And this time, it could even be a unanimous vote.‘ So said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the press conference at the end of the peace summit in Sharm el Sheikh. Would Italian soldiers be deployed in the interposition mission? ’On my part, there is the political will,” she replied. ‘It is not interposition, it is monitoring of the ceasefire. It needs a UN resolution, and when it is approved, if Italy’s presence is requested, I will go to Parliament and ask Parliament. But this is my position’.
