The minister: Italy will be present for the reconstruction

The grand ceremony for the official signing of the ceasefire is expected to take place on Monday. Our Prime Minister will also be invited. This is what the Egyptian Foreign Minister told me yesterday. The invitation is being sent out this morning: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said it on Restart on Rai3.

This means that Italy will be present, with humanitarian aid, reconstruction, and governance of the new phase, he added.

Once we have moved from truce to peace, we are also ready to send our military, Carabinieri, or army, to ensure security, the minister remarked, recalling that the Carabinieri are already present in Jericho to train the Palestinian police and in Rafah to control crossings between Egypt and Gaza. Italy will be a leading player, and we will do everything to ensure that the truce turns into peace and is a lasting peace, Tajani concluded.
