Italy plans to provide air defense assistance to Gulf countries.

Italian Prime Minister Meloni said in an interview with local media on the 5th that Italy plans to provide defensive military assistance to Gulf countries, mainly in the field of air defense, along with the UK, France, and Germany. She also emphasized that Italy does not intend to join the war.
