The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, has signed a Joint Statement with the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Norway, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, strongly condemning the decision of the Israeli Security Cabinet on 8 August to launch a further large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, together with his counterparts, reiterates the urgent need for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, which also allows for the provision of adequate humanitarian assistance.
The statement further reaffirms a shared commitment to “the implementation of a negotiated two-state solution, as the only way to ensure that Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in peace, security, and dignity”.
The full Statement is available on the Italian Foreign Ministry website.
