“Withdraw Italian soldiers from the UNIFIL mission” –

Israel has launched the offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, where there are 1,200 Italian soldiers from the United Nations Interposition Force. “We wonder what Crosetto is waiting for to withdraw the Italian soldiers from the UNIFIL mission. The Minister ordered our troops to no longer go out on patrol and to remain locked in the bunkers. But in these conditions, what is the point of the permanence of our soldiers, who carried out an interposition function, which is no longer feasible? I am only the target of a possible attack, or a probable military incident”, declare Gianni Alemanno and Luigia Passaro, national secretary and deputy secretary of the Independence movement.

“If their presence had even the slightest value of deterrence and credible presence of the UN, it would be right for them to remain there – we read in the note – But, in reality, they only serve as evidence of the absolute surrender of the West, compared to the very serious military initiatives of the Israeli army. Our soldiers do not deserve to be sacrificed just to endorse this intolerable hypocrisy.”
