Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has discussed efforts to prevent a new war in the Middle East with his Israeli and Lebanese counterparts, Israel Katz and Bou Habib, he said.
Tensions escalated between Israel and armed political group Hezbollah after a rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday killed 12 children and teenagers.
“Breaking the spiral of violence is possible,” Tajani wrote on social media platform X.
