Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni
said that no one is immune from terrorism after Tuesday's attack
on a church in France.
"No one can feel immune from the terrorist threat and
let's not fuel the legend that if we didn't attack, they
wouldn't attack Europe," Gentiloni told a combined session of
the Senate and the Lower House's foreign affairs and defence
committees.
Referring to ISIS, he said: "they strike if they are
strong and if they are weak".
"Daesh is clearly losing ground, but it continues to
strike Europe," he continued.
"We must respond by putting out the crisis hotbeds".
Gentiloni added that Italy is "on the front line" and was
regaining a lead role in the international arena.
