Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni
told the Senate on Thursday that trying to step in to fight the
so-called Islamic State (ISIS) terror group in Libya would be an
error. "The different factions in Libya are competing with each
other to fight Daesh (ISIS in Arabic)," he said. "Trying to...
substitute ourselves in their anti-terror activities would be a
big mistake. We must encourage this path, even though it is
tortuous and uphill". Gentiloni told lawmakers that the foreign
policy objective is to enable Libyan authorities to combat and
defeat Islamist terrorism in their country.
