Italian PM Meloni to visit Lebanon Friday

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni warned on Tuesday against withdrawing U.N. peacekeepers from Lebanon at Israel’s unilateral request, as she announced she would visit Lebanon on Friday.

Meloni, who would be the first head of state or government to visit the country since an escalation between Israel and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on September 23, told parliament that such a withdraw would be a "serious error".
