Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni believes that the cease-fire agreement signed last night between Iran, the United States and Israel provides an opportunity to end the war in Lebanon. "[The Shiite movement] Hezbollah's decision to involve the country in the conflict was irresponsible, but the continued Israeli attacks in Lebanon, which have already caused too many casualties and an unacceptable number of displaced people, must be stopped immediately," said a statement released by the Italian Prime Minister's press office. In addition, Maloney condemned the Israeli army's targeting of Italian troops serving as part of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon. "Italian troops are in Lebanon under the mandate of the UN Security Council and are acting in the interests of peacekeeping. Therefore, it is absolutely unacceptable that the military personnel operating under the UN flag should be put in danger due to irresponsible actions like today's, which are a clear violation of UN Resolution 1701," the statement said.
