“One of the main factors triggering migrant flows is armed conflicts,” he told the House.
“And in this moment at the gates of Europe there are two, the war in Ukraine and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, both uncertain and susceptible to provoking an impact on the dynamics of the flows.
“Without forgetting that the conflict in the Middle East brings with it also the risk of triggering Islamist radicalisations like just a few days ago in France with the murder of a teacher by an Islamist fanatic and last night in Brussels with the killing of two Swedish citizens.”
Meanwhile, two men were arrested by the Digos security police in Milan on Tuesday in an anti-terrorism operation, prosecutors said.
The pair - an Egyptian and an Italian of Egyptian origin - are accused of criminal association for terrorism and instigation to commit crime for terrorism purposes.
Milan prosecutor Marcello Viola said the suspects were “extremely active in digital propaganda and proselytising on behalf of ISIS” and had allegedly “sworn an oath of belonging and loyalty” to the Islamist terror group.
They are also accused of financing the causes of the so-called Islamic State.
