“Italy is doing everything that needs to be done to guarantee the safety of our citizens, starting with those who are Jewish,” Tajani told RTL radio.
“There is no imminent risk, but nothing should be underestimated.”
Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said on Saturday that Italy must prepare for the economic and security consequences of the war between Israel and Hamas.
He said that one of the dangers was that Islamist fighters could arrive in Italy with migrants from North Africa, adding that he was considering cancelling the celebrations for Italian Armed Forces Day on November 4 this year due to heightened security risks.
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said that “difficult, complicated months are certainly ahead of us, which make it right to maintain a high level of attention”.
Tajani also said Sunday that King Abdullah II of Jordan will be in Italy on Monday as part of talks on the situation in the Middle East.
