Former Italian Prime Minister: I will tear up the military agreement with Israel The former Italian Prime Minister and leader of the Five Star Movement promised that if his political movement returns to power, he will recognize the state of Palestine and cancel the military cooperation agreement with Israel. These statements were made during the review of the Five Star Movement's proposed plan to ban the import of goods and services from Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. Giuseppe Conte, who supported the plan, described the vote on it as a choice between Italy's adherence to democratic values and international law or ignoring those principles.
