The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation follows with deep concern the escalation in Gaza and the news of casualties among Palestinian civilians.
Italy strongly condemns the launch of rockets towards Israel’s territory and reiterates Israel’s right to ensure the safety of its citizens.
Italy urges all sides to show moderation to prevent an escalation of the hostilities, which would cause further casualties and pain among civilians.
This new wave of violence confirms once again the necessity to relaunch diplomatic efforts to reach a fair and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
