Commenting from Paris on the news of the agreement on a ceasefire in Gaza, Minister for Foreign Affairs Giulio Terzi, presently accompanying the President of the Republic on a State visit to France, said he was “very pleased with this agreement, a major step toward a solution to the crisis”.
“This achievement”, Terzi underscored, “is the fruit of the intense diplomatic activities of Western and regional democracies, in which Italy has played an active role maintaining constant contact with its main European partners and with Egypt and Turkey”.
“It is my hope that all parties respect the accord”, Terzi concluded, “and that this important development contributes to restoring the serenity of the local populations and constitutes a first step toward reviving prospects for dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians”.
