Ten Italians in the Gaza Strip
In the Gaza Strip there are “ten Italians, including a one-year-old girl”, said Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in the government’s communication to the Chamber, speaking about the Hamas attack on Israel.
There is no news of two citizens
«We have no news of the two Italian-Israeli citizens, husband and wife, who lived in a kibbutz, they are probably hostages. The son is unable to contact them. In collaboration with the Israeli authorities we are trying to understand, hopefully well.” Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said this on Restart, on Rai3. “At the moment, except for these two Italians who are missing, we have no other negative news” for Italians in Israel. The minister specified that trying to save the hostages “will not be easy”. It is important, he said, «to maintain dialogue also with the Arab countries that are moderate. Tomorrow (October 11th, ed.) I will be in Egypt, I just spoke with the Turkish Foreign Minister, yesterday I spoke with the Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates and I spoke with that of Saudi Arabia: in short we are talking with all the countries who want stability and who can play a role above all to save the hostages.”
Aid to the Palestinians for humanitarian purposes only
As regards European aid to the Palestinians, Foreign Minister Tajani said, “we will verify that it is actually used for humanitarian purposes and not for other purposes”. The minister will discuss the issue today in an extraordinary EU Foreign Affairs Council.
