Is there an agreement between Italy and Israel to host IDF soldiers on holiday on the beaches of Sardinia?

Controversy has erupted over the presence of hundreds of Israeli soldiers on the island and in the Marche region, for a period of "decompression" following their service in Gaza . And while ProPal protests continue in front of the five-star resort in Baia Santa Reparata (Santa Teresa Gallura) that houses the soldiers, calls for clarification from the Meloni government are also increasing.

Yesterday, no government official released any informal statements or press releases, but a statement that Ansa attributes to “informed sources” effectively confirms that the Israelis who arrived on holiday are military personnel: “The IDF soldiers on holiday in Italy are protected because they are considered sensitive targets in light of the war in Gaza and the pro-Palestinian protests” .

And following the Five Star Movement, now Avs is also calling for clarity: "I have submitted a question to the Ministers of Defense and Interior to clarify what is happening," says Sardinian MP Francesca Ghirra . "No one confirms that these are IDF soldiers, but the security presence in front of the prestigious hotel suggests that Lungoni's activists' concerns for Palestine are well-founded. The Italian government is doing nothing to stop Israel's war crimes in Palestine. It would be very serious if they had made agreements with Netanyahu to house his soldiers in our territories , especially in hotels open to the public."

The parliamentarian recalls that "Meloni and Crosetto refuse to recognize the State of Palestine, refuse to admit that a genocide is underway, and constantly limit themselves to hypocritical, platitude-based phrases." And now she wonders whether "their servility even led them to sign agreements with a war criminal like Netanyahu, and which authorities are responsible for this."

He also asks what the "economic costs" of this alleged agreement are, "also taking into account the surveillance activities of Italian police forces in the vicinity of the host hotels."

Angelo Bonelli also calls for clarity, calling it "shameful" that Israeli soldiers are being hosted in Italy, "yet another chapter in a political and moral complicity that we can no longer tolerate ." "The government," the MP insists, "must clarify immediately: is there a formal or informal agreement with Israel to host these soldiers? Who authorized and organized their presence on our soil?"

"There's an ethical and political point that can't be ignored," according to Bonelli. " On the one hand, we open our hospitals to Palestinian children wounded by the bombs, on the other, we open the doors of Italian resorts to the soldiers who drop those bombs . It's a vivid representation of this government's shame and double standards."

The MP concluded by announcing an urgent question for the government to report to Parliament: "President Meloni, Minister Tajani: can you explain this absurd affair and clearly state which side Italy is on: with the victims or the executioners?"
