A delegation of personnel of the
operational command of the interforce summit of the Italian
Defence has been invited to Jericho, in the West Bank, for an
inspection - as part of the MIADIT operation suspended a year
ago - to verify the logistical conditions to reopen the mission,
well-informed sources said Friday.
The perspective, as requested by US Secretary of State Antony
Blinken to the Italian government, is to deploy 200 Carabinieri
military officers in Jericho and, only after a positive
evaluation of security conditions yet to be verified, by both
sides, an extension of the mission to the territory of Gaza.
The delegation, sent a week ago, includes eight people -
Carabinieri officers, doctors and logistics experts - the
sources said.
