Italy Calls on Israel to Cease Gaza Attacks, Allow Humanitarian Aid
(MENAFN) Italy reiterated its call on Israel to cease its attacks on Gaza and open the crossings to allow vital humanitarian aid to reach the besieged Palestinian territory.
“I once again called on Israel to halt military operations involving civilians and to immediately open all crossings to allow humanitarian aid to enter,” Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani shared on X.
“We want a ceasefire and the release of the hostages: the war in Gaza must end,” he added.
Tajani also revealed that 52 Palestinians, relatives of those evacuated from Gaza for medical care, were transferred to Jordan and will eventually be brought to Italy.
In the past few days, Israel's military intensified airstrikes on Gaza, resulting in over 500 deaths and hundreds of injuries among Palestinians.
Despite global calls for a ceasefire, Israel has continued its violent campaign against Gaza since October 2023, claiming nearly 53,600 Palestinian lives, mostly women and children.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Additionally, Israel is facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in the region.
