Italy supports the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel and stands ready to help strengthen Lebanese state institutions and its regular armed forces, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has said, according to Al Jazeera.

In a post on X following a call with his Lebanese counterpart, Youssef Raggi, Tajani says Hezbollah must cease any military action against Israel and accept the decisions of Lebanon’s legitimate government to uphold the truce.

“We are convinced that Israel, too, must renounce military escalation,” he stressed. “The path of diplomacy is the only way to achieve peace.”
