Meloni: "We cannot remain silent about Israel's reaction, which went beyond the principle of proportionality."

"We did not hesitate for a single minute in supporting Israel's right to self-defense after the horror of October 7th, but at the same time, we cannot remain silent now in the face of a reaction that has gone beyond the principle of proportionality, claiming too many innocent victims and even involving Christian communities," said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the Rimini Meeting . "We also condemn the unjustifiable killing of journalists in Gaza, which is an unacceptable attack on freedom of the press." The prime minister called for a halt to settler settlements in the West Bank and for the arrival of humanitarian aid.
