Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani spoke by phone with his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein on Monday, discussing the latest developments in the Middle East and the efforts to prevent further tensions in the region.
Tajani emphasized that stability in Iraq is crucial for security in the area, and that Italy is committed to working with Iraq to achieve a cease-fire in Gaza and to bring peace to the Middle East.
The call was seen as part of Italy’s efforts to address the ongoing crisis in the region.
The situation in Gaza has been precarious since Israel launched a brutal onslaught against the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year, following an attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
The assault has resulted in nearly 40,000 Palestinian deaths, leading to increased regional tensions.
The latest escalation occurred last week after Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated during a visit to Iran. The incident has raised concerns about the potential for further conflict in the region.
Italy’s efforts to promote stability and peace in the Middle East are part of its broader commitment to international diplomacy and conflict resolution.
