Tajani stated that both entities must acknowledge each other simultaneously for any resolution to be effective. This aligns with Italy&#39;s broader support for a two-state solution, provided that Hamas is excluded from any political outcome. Tajani had previously expressed that recognizing Palestine is currently &quot;impossible&quot; because, in his view, a Palestinian state does not yet exist, and such a move would be detrimental to peace efforts and perceived as anti-Israel. He has also stressed that any future Palestinian state cannot be governed by Hamas, with Italy recognizing the Palestinian National Authority as the legitimate interlocutor.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in the realm of global finance, Reserve Bank of India (<a href=\"\/stock\/RBI\">RBI<\/a>) Governor Sanjay Malhotra has voiced strong support for US Federal Reserve (<a href=\"\/stock\/FED\">FED<\/a>) Chair Jerome Powell. Malhotra commended Powell&#39;s performance, stating he is &quot;doing an excellent job&quot; and underscoring the critical importance of central bank independence. This public endorsement from a prominent global central banker comes at a time when Powell has faced political scrutiny regarding monetary policy decisions. Malhotra&#39;s remarks highlight a shared commitment among international financial leaders to maintaining the autonomy of central banks amidst geopolitical and economic pressures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Italy&#39;s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani asserts that a new Palestinian state must simultaneously recognize Israel, and
