Amid strained relations between the nations, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has suspended the renewal of its longstanding defence agreement with Israel, reflecting frayed ties between previously close allies as the conflicts in the Middle East continue.
The agreement, which first took effect in 2006, involves military collaboration in various forms.
Subject for renewal every five years, Meloni’s decision to withdraw comes as Israel’s attacks on Iran and Lebanon continue. #Italy #Iran #GiorgiaMeloni
