Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Italy wants to build positive events after
landing in Israel Monday as part of a visit to support Middle
East peace after the start of a ceasefire between Tel Aviv and
Hamas in Gaza.
"I am in Israel, I will hold important meetings both here and in
Palestine to support peace", said Tajani.
"Italy wants to be a constructor of positive events, also from
the standpoint of reconstruction, organizing our project Food
for Gaza.
"We must look at Gaza's tomorrow so this still weak truce can
become stronger and bring stability to the entire Middle East",
said Tajani.
Tajani met with Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar
and the Palestinian Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Emigrants Mohammed Mustafa in Ramallah, in the West
Bank.
He also met with the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Italian
Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa
Food for Gaza is an initiative Italy has spearheaded to get food
aid to Palestinian civilians, launched last March together with
UN agencies WFP and FAO, IFRC (International Federation of Red
Cross and Red Crescent Societies), and the civil protection.
