It was a junior partner in the strategic plans of NATO and warmly appreciated by some Arab countries for its regional approach.

But Italian foreign policy towards the Middle East balanced between promoting dialogue, stability and cooperation on one hand, and colluding with global superpower manoeuvres to exploit existing tensions and achieve local influence on the other.
