Italy Refuses Military Action in Syria

Italy’s Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni refuses to help the US militarily in Syria.

In accordance with their NATO membership, Italian officials will provide use of their strategically located bases, but that’s it.

“Italy will continue to furnish logistical support to the activities of allied forces, contributing to ensuring security and protection,” said Gentiloni on Thursday.

Despite the PM’s statement, the country’s right-wing political parties wanted to go even further by not allowing the use of their bases for any action against Syria unless sanctioned by the U.N Security Council.
