The President of Italian Jewish
Communities (UCEI) Noemi Di Segni on Friday said Italy's Jews
were conscious of the "critical nature" of ongoing events after
the IDF hit UNIFIL bases in southern Lebanon and expressed
support for the Italian mission and all UNIFIL soldiers in a
letter sent to Premier Giorgia Meloni, Deputy Premier and
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and Defence Minister Guido
Crosetto.
"We are experiencing hours of grave tension for what happened
with the attacks of the Israeli army against UNIFIL outposts, in
a situation on the ground that is extremely complex and
dangerous for everybody", wrote Di Segni.
"We are fully aware of the critical nature of the ongoing
situation, including on a political level, of these episodes
which, we have learned, are being subjected to a careful
investigation by all the appropriate" institutions, said the
letter sent by UCEI.
Di Segni expressed, as "a Jewish voice here in Italy, our
closeness to the Italian mission and to all UNIFIL soldiers who
are present in the conflict zone with the spirit of service,
hoping for their safety".
"Grateful to the Italian government for all the commitment
dedicated to security, here in our cities, in Lebanon during
these difficult weeks and in any other location and outpost.
Di Segni expressed "absolute closeness to the Italian mission"
and appreciation for security forces, as well as the Italian
government, and "concern, along with all Italians, for the
ongoing critical situation" under investigation.
