The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Angelino Alfano: \u201cItaly firmly condemns the new launch of ballistic missiles on the territory of Saudi Arabia, including the capital Riyadh, by Houthi rebels in Yemen, which targeted civilian objectives and caused the death of one person and the injury of several people among defenceless Saudi citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n
While expressing our Country\u2019s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia, the Minister of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed that the provocative behaviour of Houthi rebels undermines the region\u2019s security and stability and worsens the seriously deteriorated political and military framework of the Yemeni crisis.<\/p>\n
Minister Alfano added: \u201cThe priority must be to cease hostilities, an essential prerequisite to meet the urgent humanitarian needs of the civilian population.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cItaly is ready to give all our support the United Nations\u2019 new Special Envoy, Martin Griffiths, in the strong hope that he might give a decisive impulse to negotiations to put an end to this conflict,\u201d concluded Minister Alfano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Angelino Alfano: \u201cItaly firmly condemns the new launch of ballistic missiles on the territory of Saudi Arabia, including the capital Riyadh, by Houthi rebels in Yemen, which targeted civilian objectives and caused the death of one person and the injury of several people among defenceless Saudi citizens.\u201d […]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[6,76],"class_list":["post-3685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comunicati","tag-mediterraneo-e-medio-oriente","tag-ministri-precedenti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3685\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
