Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Wednesday that Italy will look at United
States President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza while adding that
Rome remains in favour of a two-State solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Trump said Tuesday that the US will take over the Gaza Strip and
suggested that Palestinians could live in "peace and harmony"
elsewhere in a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.
"It seems to me that as far as the evacuation of the civilian
population from Gaza is concerned, the response of Jordan and
Egypt has been negative, so it seems to me that it is a bit
difficult (to implement the plan)," Tajani told Foreign Affairs
Committees of the Lower House and Senate.
"I have said what the Italian position is, then we will see when
there are concrete proposals.
"We are in favour of two peoples, two states.
"I have said that we are even ready to send Italian soldiers for
a mission to reunify Gaza with the West Bank. The government has
not changed its mind"
