Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says he thanked Italy for “standing boldly with Israel following the Iranian attack”, in a call with Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto.
The Israeli army “has demonstrated its capabilities and we are even stronger together with our allies,” Gallant said in a post on social media.
Crosetto’s office earlier said he told Gallant that Iran had “crossed a precise red line” but that now was the time “to avoid fuelling the spiral of violence that would see us all defeated”.
Italy, which holds the current presidency of the G7, will host a meeting of foreign ministers on Wednesday, where possible sanctions on Iran are expected to be discussed.
