Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has said that Israel will probably retaliate for Iran’s April 13 missile and drone attack, adding that he hoped any response would be targeted and not trigger an escalation, Al Jazeera reports.

“Our appeal is always for prudence and de-escalation,” Tajani told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of Group of Seven (G7) foreign ministers.

“We hope that Israel’s response, which will probably come, will be a targeted response and not something that provokes escalation,” he said.
