Italy’s Defense Minister, Guido Crosetto, has issued a warning about the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian movement Hamas. He believes that the war could be long and have devastating consequences for the civilian population. Crosetto’s statement comes as tensions continue to escalate in the region.
In an interview with La Stampa, Crosetto urged Europeans not to have any illusions about the duration of the conflict. He stated that Israel is fulfilling its promise to take necessary actions, and the war is expected to persist for a significant period of time.
The Defense Minister emphasized that it is crucial to closely monitor the political aftermath of the ongoing hostilities. He expressed concerns about the evident and potentially dramatic civilian consequences resulting from the conflict.
Furthermore, Crosetto clarified that Russia has no involvement in Hamas’ attack on Israel. He pointed out that while some countries have shown support towards the Palestinians and Hamas, Russia is not among them.
The warning from Italy’s Defense Minister adds to the growing international concern over the situation in the region. Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to destroy Hamas, further escalating tensions. As the conflict intensifies, the international community remains on high alert, hoping for a peaceful resolution to prevent further civilian suffering.
