Speech by Giorgia Meloni
“We must do the impossible to prevent the crisis from escalating, to avoid losing control of this crisis, because the consequences would be unimaginable. The most serious way to do this is a political initiative for a structural solution based on the perspective of two peoples and two States, a solution that must be concrete and have a defined time frame,” the Prime Minister concluded and affirmed , that “a state has the full right of claim in the face of actions such as those of Hamas.” its right to defense, to existence, to the security of its citizens and borders. But a state’s reaction can and must never be motivated by feelings of revenge.”
“We are facing an unprecedented crisis that requires absolute attention. That is why I have called on you to work together on a new roadmap that will put an end to the humanitarian crisis.” He said it Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi Address to the heads of state and government at the opening of the international peace summit in Cairo. Al-Sisi stressed the need to “enter negotiations that pave the way for a two-state solution.”
“We strongly condemn the attacks, killings or intimidation of any civilians,” he added. We renew our opposition to the forced relocation of Palestinians. Anyone who thinks that the Palestinian people want to leave their country is wrong.”
For the Egyptian president, “we must prevent the spread of the conflict, which could threaten the stability of the region, and restart the peace process. We need a return to the negotiating table for a ceasefire and the application of the two-state solution, which exist peacefully side by side in accordance with international law.

THE LIFE
Palestinian President Abu Mazen He reiterated: “We will never leave our country” and stressed: “We want to express that we are against and denounce the killing of civilians on both sides and call for the release of hostages on both sides.” “The Palestinians – He added – are facing the aggression and hostility of the Israeli army, which violates the principles of international law and targets hospitals, schools, civilian refuge centers and homes. We condemn the danger of evacuating civilians from homes and from the West.” Bank and Jerusalem, we will never accept it. From day one we have asked for this barbaric aggression to be stopped and for humanitarian corridors to be opened to allow aid to enter the Gaza Strip, but the Government of Israel has not allowed this. “
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres reported that in Rafah “I saw a humanitarian catastrophe. Across the border there are two million people, including children, who need help. I am grateful to Egypt for the role it has played and call for a humanitarian ceasefire.” He then stressed that “the rights of Palestinians are legitimate” and that “a two-state solution” is needed.
“It is time to put an end to this nightmare that threatens children,” Guterres added. “The people of Gaza must do more to provide humanitarian assistance. It is necessary to apply international law and avoid attacks on civilians, schools and hospitals.”
The two-state formula was also supported by the King Abdallah II of Jordan: “What Israel is doing in Gaza are war crimes, and the only solution is to recognize Palestine as its country. Attacking churches and killing civilians in Gaza and the West Bank is collective punishment, a war crime. Like even the siege it imposes.” Hunger weighs on the civilian population and deprives them of basic needs, such as the internal or external resettlement of Palestinians. Furthermore, it creates the impression that the application of international laws is optional. Finally, we recognize the danger of a sectarian war. The only solution is to recognize Palestine as a separate territory under international law,” concluded Abdallah II.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is also taking part in the summit in Cairo. She arrived in Egypt this morning and was welcomed at the airport by the Italian Ambassador to Egypt, Michele Quaroni, and Egyptian Trade Minister Hazem al-Beblawi.
