The piece delves into the ideological conflicts that hinder rational dialogue about international relations, particularly between the United States and Europe. It highlights a recent speech by German Chancellor Merz that criticizes America's 'MAGA' doctrine, pointing to its disconnect from European views and values. While Merz's criticisms are echoed, the article argues that Italy's decision to act as a neutral observer at the 'Board of Peace' for Gaza, initiated by the American president, is not a mistake.

The 'Board of Peace,' despite its unconventional approach and business tones, comprises all significant players in the Middle Eastern crisis, such as Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. The author suggests that Italy's participation is a pragmatic engagement, as it acknowledges the reality of the current political landscape that must be dealt with to aim for a sustainable future for Palestine.

While the organizational dynamics of this board may seem peculiar, it represents a critical forum for dialogue amid the ongoing crisis. The article concludes by reaffirming the necessity of Italy's involvement in addressing the complexities of Middle Eastern politics, ultimately suggesting that being at the table, even as a neutral observer, is essential for influencing a positive outcome in the region.
