The Italian government and the Israeli regime are once again arm in arm for a new joint scheme promoting cyber-warfare under the guise of cyber security.

The Italian capital Rome is hosting a two-day exhibition called 'Cybertech Europe 2025'.

Conceived in Israel, it has attracted companies, government officials, and, industry leaders, to discuss new opportunities in the sector.

It is being held at the La Nuvola Convention Center in Rome, which is owned by Italy's Ministry of Economy.

The exhibition being held at premises which is 90% owned by our economy ministry, shows, once again, how Italy is completely aligned to genocidal Israel.

This initiative that only promotes more wars must be stopped.

Italy and Israel have been enhancing their military cooperation over the past years with joint exercises, military technology exchange and security agreements, among other things.

The cooperation, however, is widely criticized in Italy, where calls get louder for an end to these ties in light of the regime's genocide in Gaza.

In March 2023, the Italian government signed an agreement with Israel to entrust Tel Aviv with partial management of its National Cyber Security.

The deal led to the resignation of the then head of Italy's National Cyber Security Agency, Roberto Baldoni.

Critics said the agreement marked another step in Italy ceding its sovereignty to Israel.

Having subcontracted out a big chunk of our national security to Israel and its companies is disturbing and explains why Italy's posture is so submissive.

Our government never once used the term genocide to describe Israel's actions in Gaza, never really condemned Netanyahu’s crimes.

It has granted airspace permission to Israel; ties between Rome and Tel Aviv are too strong.

Palestine has been turned into a laboratory where arms are tested on the Palestinians, and then exported here in Italy.

We have imported Zionism too.

Look at how the mainstream media distort news at the various conferences held in our cities to spread Zionism.

We must also fight for our own freedom.

On Monday, a protest against the Italy-Israel exhibition was held in the vicinity of the premises hosting the event.

Hundreds of policemen were deployed so that protesters could not get near the exhibition and its visitors.
