This past week, @ispionline convened a select group of experts to delve into pressing matters confronting the Middle East and North Africa. The Israel-Hamas conflict was a focal point, igniting robust discussions on viable pathways toward resolution and peace.
Huge thank you to @ispionline for their exceptional role in orchestrating insightful discussions on the ever-evolving dynamics of the Middle East. Special thanks to @ItalyMFA for their support, instrumental in bringing together experts to tackle complex policy challenges

The terrible floods that devastated Libya's eastern coast have shown clearly the ineptitude and corruption of the region's administration under Gen. Haftar and his sons.
But this is not the moment for polemics but for finding a rapid solution for the distraught population.
Instead of wasting time chasing fantasies like Libya joining the Abraham accords, Italian PM Meloni and Min.for foreign affairs Tajani should lead and push for the creation of an international committee to coordinate and direct aid to the populations hit by the devastating floods
On the 🇮🇱🇱🇾 debacle: for a government to realize an agreement of such magnitude it must hold popular support- precisely what Dbeibah's GNU now lacks.
In Libya, the question of popular legitimacy is no longer avoidable.
My latest for @AtlanticCouncil

I spoke to @i24NEWS_EN about the 🇱🇾🇮🇱🇮🇹 debacle: What is clear is that this was a missed opportunity for diplomacy. The agreement was not supposed to be secret, simply not advertised. Unfortunately, it is unlikely we will see any concrete plans for normalization in the S-T.

I spoke to @SkyTG24 about the ongoing negotiations between 🇹🇳 🇮🇹 and PM Meloni's recent visit to Tunis.
Tunisia faces a dire economic situation, which could cause a massive influx of migrants reaching Italy and other European countries.
Current Pres. Kais Saied is driving the country down a path of democratic backsliding. Yet, there are no alternatives, and as I explained to Sky News, 🇮🇹 must maintain open communication channels while also pressuring the Pres. to keep the country on its democratic course.
