The Far Right and Israeli Intelligence, a Collaborative Relationship in Italy in the 1970s

Abstract

<p>This study examines the 1973 massacre at Milan’s police headquarters, situating the event within its historical, political, and geopolitical context. It explores the collaboration between Italy’s far-right movement, particularly Ordine Nuovo (ON), and Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, analyzing these ties in relation to Italy’s pro-Arab and pro-Palestinian policies, epitomized by the Lodo Moro agreement. This arrangement permitted Palestinians to transport weapons and explosives through Italy, provided no attacks were conducted on Italian soil. The massacre is investigated as a case study, advocating for an analytical framework that integrates the geopolitical ideologies of radical groups and assesses their potential to influence state-level or supranational geopolitical strategies.<br></p>
