Gaza: statement by President of the Council of Ministers Giorgia Meloni

It was with deep dismay and concern that I learned the dramatic news of today’s events in Gaza.
There is an urgent need for Israel to ascertain the dynamics of what happened and who is responsible.
The numerous new civilian victims require ongoing negotiation efforts to be immediately stepped up in order to create the conditions for a ceasefire and a release of the hostages.
