Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Tuesday that Italy would not renew its defense agreement with Israel.
"In light of the current situation, the government has decided to suspend the automatic renewal of the defense agreement with Israel," the prime minister announced on the sidelines of Vinitaly in Verona.
It should be noted that an official message was already conveyed yesterday in a letter sent by the Italian Minister of Defense to the Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz.
The agreement, initially approved by Israel in 2006, includes cooperation across defense industries, education and training of military personnel, research and development, and information technology, among others, and is reviewed every five years.
The latest move marks the peak of a growing trend of Italian distancing from support for Israel. Just last week, Italy’s Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, sharply criticized Israel after speaking with Joseph Aoun.
Tajani expressed solidarity with Lebanon in the face of what he described as “unjustified and unacceptable attacks."
In addition to summoning Israel’s ambassador for a reprimand in Rome, Tajani stated that Italy is working decisively to “avoid a situation where there will be another Gaza" along the northern border.

I thought that she was one of the good guys in Europe.
I would say that ‘good guys in Europe’ is very relative. Kind of like ‘conservative’ in Europe.
‘Better guys’ works much better than ‘good guys.’
She talks a good game.
If Europeans are so good, why do they always call non-Europeans “You’re all peons”?
Israel is negotiating with the real government of Lebanon. They want to be rid of Hezbollah, who are the proxies of Iran.
She was upset over “OrangeMAnBads” “Jesus Meme.”
So. You have to understand her Outrage.
She now has checked that box and now has “That going for her.” ;)
More likely I think they don’t want to be drawn into a war with Iran/China.
Rome’s gonna be Rome. Maybe Israel should demand that Rome give up all the Jewish treasure they looted in their early days. Maybe they should start making Rome pay taxes on all the lands the Church appropriated through the centuries. Just a thought.
“”I thought that she was one of the good guys in Europe.””

I don’t think that there ARE any more good guys in Europe now. At least... not in any position of power. The US and Israel are surrounded by bad actors on this world stage. The globalist ghouls are orchestrating this demise.
Almost assuredly, Italy breaking this agreement is Italy's loss.
Yeah, but don’t most of them turn eventually? Coming soon, The United Islamic States of Europe.
Italy is entropocentric, decayed and beyond repair. Enablers of the Holocaust 2000 years ago, 80 years ago and Now.
The defense agreement isn’t being broken, it just isn’t being automatically renewed.
Whether Italy loses by creating some distance with the genicidal Israeli Zionists remains to be seen.

Yeah, the Italians are really upset about that post. Weird cause I read here all
Day yesterday that this post was just more hatred toward Trump. That his stupid post was “no big deal”.
deranged bias noted.
I thought that she was one of the good guys in Europe.
Me, too.
They got to her.
Not surprised, though....signs of the times.
Agree.
That post is pure leftist speak.
‘Not broken ... just renewed’.
The rest I won’t even reprint.
Sick to see, here.
