Italy’s Crosetto Criticizes Netanyahu’s Actions in Gaza

Rome: It is right for Italy to tell Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he is wrong in killing thousands of innocent Palestinians and creating the conditions for Hamas to garner more support, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said Thursday. “I think it is right to tell Israel today that what is happening risks damaging Israel itself,” said Crosetto, speaking via video link from Rome to the meeting “Geopolitics of resources: raw materials and technological sovereignty, a global challenge” as part of the Trento Economics Festival organized by the 24 Ore Group and Trentino Marketing.

According to Ansa News Agency, Crosetto emphasized the detrimental impact of the ongoing conflict. “The fact that this war is leading to the killing of thousands of innocent people is creating the conditions for Hamas to find even more consensus,” he stated, highlighting the potential for increased support for Hamas as a result of the violence.

Crosetto further remarked on the responsibilities of allied nations to voice their concerns. “It is right for a friendly nation to say that Netanyahu is wrong, we must secure Palestine and give Palestine a future,” he asserted, underscoring the need for a peaceful resolution and a sustainable future for Palestinians.
