Middle East, Israel: ‘Italy’s decision will not affect our security’

Milan, 14 April (LaPresse) – The Israeli Foreign Ministry has told The Times of Israel that the decision announced by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni “to suspend the automatic renewal of the defence agreement with Israel” will not undermine Israel’s security. “We have no security agreement with Italy,” the Foreign Ministry told The Times of Israel, “we have a memorandum of understanding dating back many years which has never contained any substantive elements.” “This will not affect Israel’s security,” it added.
