Milan, 9 June (LaPresse) – The remarks made by Israel’s Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, against Italy after learning he was under investigation by the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office “are unacceptable”. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani during his address on Italy’s participation in international missions in the Senate’s Conference Hall. ‘We reject them outright; they are unworthy of a minister. Italy is a friend of Israel, a country that has always defended freedom and democracy and is a key player in the peace process,’ added Tajani, ‘we reject any insult or attempt to denigrate us. The words spoken by Ben Gvir reveal the political and moral calibre of this gentleman.’
