[Italian Foreign Minister: Two-Week Ceasefire is Positive News, Beneficial to the Economy and the Region] ⑴ The Italian Foreign Minister stated that the two-week ceasefire is very positive news. It is a step towards a peace agreement, beneficial to civilians, the region, and Israel, and also good for our economy, as oil prices have fallen below $100, avoiding a surge in energy prices. This provides a respite for our system. ⑵ Italy will also continue to play a role in ensuring an agreement is reached within the next two weeks. Today, the Director of Political Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will meet with the Iranian Ambassador to Italy. Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons, and the United States should not bomb civilians. A negotiated solution is crucial for achieving peace and stability, and we support this together with the entire EU.
