Italy’s Right-Wing Government Joins Western Call to End Gaza Offensive

The appeal underscores Italy’s concern over civilian suffering in Gaza coupled with support for an Arab-led peacekeeping force.

Overview

  • Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told parliament that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza must stop immediately to prevent further humanitarian law breaches.
  • Gaza health authorities report more than 54,000 Palestinian deaths since the October 2023 conflict began.
  • Italy firmly rejects proposals to expel Palestinians from Gaza and has resisted calls for mass displacement.
  • Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert accused Israel of committing war crimes and called the operation a political maneuver for Netanyahu.
  • Israel introduced a new aid distribution system in Gaza after months of restricted humanitarian access, but agencies criticised long travel distances for recipients.
