Italian Foreign Minister Antoni Tajani speaks at the Senate on a EU naval mission in the Red Sea, in Rome, Tuesday, March 5, 2024. Italian lawmakers on Tuesday approved Italy’s participation in an EU naval mission to protect cargo ship in the Red Sea from attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen threatening maritime traffic. Tajani told lawmakers before the vote that the mission, launched last month, is strictly defensive, but that Italian ships would have the power to defend themselves as the Italian Caio Duilio destroyer did Saturday when it shot down a drone launched by Houthis in a strait between the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa.
