Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said
Thursday Italy was concerned by the "crescendo" of violence in
the Middle East after Israel is believed to have killed 32 and
wounded thousands setting off pagers and walkie talkies used by
Hezbollah in Lebanon.
He also said Italy was "sending messages of caution to Israel".
Tajani, who is also deputy premier, also reiterated that arms
sent to Ukraine should not be used in Russia.
He said that Rome would vote in the EU against such cross-border
use of western-sent missiles.
Tajani, leader of the centre-right post Berlusconi Forza Italia
(FI) party, added that the government was "solid" and there was
"no dissent" between Premier Giorgia Meloni and Defence Minister
Guido Crosetto, after La Stampa newspaper said Crosetto, a
bigwig in her Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, was "ready to quit
like Gladio and the P2".
