🕌 Italy’s Three Muslim Communities Come Together at Our Interfaith Event

One of the most meaningful moments in the opening segment of the official video from our 30 June 2026 conference, A New EU Vision for Cooperation in the Greater Mediterranean and the Gulf, was the participation of representatives from three of Italy’s principal Muslim organisations: Dr Haifa Alsakkaf of UCOII - Unione delle Comunità Islamiche d'Italia, Michael Mocci of Comunità Religiosa Islamica Italiana (COREIS), and Imam Nader Akkad of the Great Mosque of Rome.

Their presence at the same interfaith table was a significant expression of dialogue within Italy’s Muslim communities and of their readiness to contribute to a broader shared reflection with Jewish and Christian representatives. Diverse institutional and cultural paths converged around a common commitment: religious freedom, mutual recognition, and peaceful coexistence.

This moment speaks directly to a central theme in Dr Molinaro Enrico's academic and cultural-diplomacy work: the relationship among collective identity, political legitimacy, territorial belonging, and the trans-territorial bonds formed through faith, culture, and shared history.

At Panel 2, Best Practices on Religious Freedom and Communities, Imam Nader Akkad, Riccardo di Segni, Chief Rabbi of Rome, and Ambrogio Spreafico gave practical form to an essential premise of peacebuilding: dialogue becomes credible when communities can meet as themselves, with their own histories and identities, while recognising the dignity and place of others.

This approach has long shaped Dr Molinaro’s work—from the first in a series of fifteen high-level, closed-door Israeli–Palestinian interfaith seminars in 2006 to ongoing efforts to institutionalise the Jerusalem Holy Places Centre (JHPC), creating spaces where shared sacred heritage can serve as a foundation for responsibility, dialogue, and cooperation.

The participation of UCOII, COREIS, and the Great Mosque of Rome therefore represents more than a positive image from a single conference. It is a modest yet concrete step along a longer path: strengthening relationships within communities, fostering dialogue among faiths, and building the human foundations for a more peaceful Euro-Mediterranean future.

Prospettive Mediterranee-Mediterranean Perspectives will continue to support patient, community-rooted dialogue as a strategic pillar of Euro-Mediterranean peacebuilding. Lasting stability is built over time—through encounter, trust, and the capacity to recognise collective identities without allowing them to become barriers.

On 30 June 2026, the VIII Edition of Medi-Jer convened at the Europa–De Gasperi Conference Room of the European Parliament Office in Rome for a high-level and strategically relevant discussion on “A New EU Vision for Cooperation in the Greater Mediterranean and the Gulf.”

At a moment of profound regional realignment, the conference addressed the major fault lines and opportunities shaping the future of the Euro-Mediterranean and Gulf spaces: the post-war regional order, the evolving role of Europe, the strategic implications of the Abraham Accords, interfaith diplomacy, the protection of holy places, energy autonomy, sustainable agriculture, and the need for more credible, long-term frameworks of cooperation.

The discussions made clear that the Abraham Accords remain one of the key reference points for understanding the region’s geopolitical trajectory — but also one of its most contested. In this context, the conference offered an important space to reflect on how diplomacy, institutional dialogue, and strategic vision can contribute to stability, coexistence, and a more balanced regional architecture.

With the participation of distinguished speakers and institutional partners, Medi-Jer VIII confirmed the value of serious dialogue at a time when Europe is being called to do more than observe developments from a distance. The event stood out for its political relevance, intellectual depth, and capacity to connect regional analysis with concrete perspectives for action.
