Fascist Meloni more principled than Starmer: Italy suspends military cooperation with Israel

Fascist Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni has announced Italy’s ‘defence’ agreement with Israel will be suspended.

Meloni attributed the decision to Israel’s continued aggression against its regional neighbours, particularly Iran.

She said:

In view of the current situation, the government has decided to suspend the automatic renewal of the defence agreement with Israel.

Italy says its ‘Israeli counterparts’ have been informed

The pact is outlined in a military cooperation framework signed in April 2016 and usually renews automatically every five years. Italy’s defence minister Guido Crosetti said that his ministry had informed Israeli counterparts.

Keir Starmer, meanwhile, continues to provide Israel and its US enablers with access to UK military bases and airspace. Meanwhile, the UK navy and RAF support Israel’s war on Lebanese civilians and continue to provide it with defensive cover against Iran’s retaliation for US-Israeli aggression.

The UK ministry of defence is even boasting about fast-tracking new anti-drone “interceptor missiles” to help ‘Gulf partners’ — weasel words that will certainly include Israel.

He condemns Iran’s justified closure of the Hormuz Strait and plans to try to break it but is silent on the US’s and Israel’s crimes.

Italy’s fascist PM is way ahead of the supposedly ‘centrist’, but in reality, ethno-supremacist Starmer on human rights and Israel, again.
