Mattarella on the Middle East: “Cowardly attack by Hamas. It is a crime to use food and water as means of war”

«We are witnessing a worrying increase in international tensions, a widening of fault lines between countries and regions of the world and a return of imperialistic attitudes and nationalism». President Sergio Mattarella said this while speaking to the FAO. «The Middle East is once again in flames, due to a cowardly attack that has already managed to raise the spiral of horror and violence to unprecedented levels». President Sergio Mattarella said this while speaking to the FAO. «Moscow’s infamous decision last July to withdraw from the wheat agreement further worsens the scenario. It is a crime to transform food and water into instruments of conflict. On the contrary, they are testimony to the indivisibility of humanity’s destiny. The right to food and water are inscribed within a broader right to life, and support an idea of ​​”human security” that requires cooperation. This is the challenge that challenges us: to give life and dignity to people, to peoples of every latitude.” President Sergio Mattarella said this while speaking to the FAO.
