“Risk of price increases”. What increases the most – Time

«There might be generalized increases, starting with that of petrol and other primary goods, already slowed down or prevented by the Houti’s hybrid war in the Red Sea. Also to prevent this from happening, we will continue to provide humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Gaza, to put pressure on Israel in every way to avoid an excessively harsh military response, and to work for de-escalation in the entire region. We do it, and I do it, silently and discreetly, as is my custom, but in a constant, pressing and daily way.” Thus the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, in his briefing to the joint commissions of the House and Senate on the recent developments of the crisis in the Middle East.

Then the Defense Minister makes a direct reference to the war in the Middle East. «I would be lying if I said that the scale and symbolism of the Iranian attack make an Israeli response unlikely. How, where and when it will do so is what the war cabinet is deciding right now, as confirmed in a conversation with my colleague Gallant. I am not and do not want to call myself pessimistic, but I am certainly worried that if Israel’s reaction is harsh, a further spiral might be triggered.” Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said this in his briefing to the Foreign and Defense Committees of the Senate and Chamber on the Middle East.
