Giorgia Meloni criticizes Israel over Gaza military response
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has significantly shifted Italy's stance regarding the conflict in Gaza. Speaking at the United Nations, Meloni stated that Israel's military response following the October 7 attacks has exceeded the limits of proportionality and crossed a “red line.”
Meloni accused the Israeli military operation of violating international humanitarian law and causing a “massacre of civilians.” As a result of this shift, she announced that Italy will support potential European Union sanctions against Israel.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister emphasized that Israel cannot prevent the creation of an independent Palestinian state. This declaration marks a departure from Italy's previous position, which was considered one of the more supportive voices for Tel Aviv among major European governments.
