Decision not to send arms to Israel already taken - Tajani

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 20 - Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Saturday that the government had already decided not to export arms to Israel after the outbreak of the war in Gaza, so Democratic Party (PD) leader Elly Schlein's call for weapons not to be sent to Israel was superfluous.
    "Since 7 October we have decided not to send any more arms to Israel, so there is no need to discuss this point," Tajani said.
    "The decision has been taken, we said so in Parliament".
    On Friday, Schlein said Italy "must face the issue of avoiding fuelling these conflicts, of avoiding sending arms and exporting arms to conflicts, to the conflict in the Middle East, in this case particularly to Israel". (ANSA).
