Former Prime Minister of Italy: I will tear up the military agreement with Israel The former Prime Minister of Italy and the leader of the Five Star Movement promised to recognize the Palestinian state and cancel the military cooperation agreement with Israel if his political movement returns to power. These statements were made during a 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. A supporter of this plan, Giuseppe Conte described the vote on it as a choice between Italy's adherence to democratic values and international law or ignoring these principles.
