Meloni Government Supports Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza

Rome: Premier Giorgia Meloni’s office has announced that the Italian government supports the 20-point plan proposed by United States President Donald Trump to end the conflict in Gaza.

According to Ansa News Agency, the Italian Government is committed to supporting efforts to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of hostages. The government statement emphasized the importance of ending hostilities to address the humanitarian crisis affecting the civilian population of the Gaza Strip. The statement described the situation as an unjustifiable tragedy.

The proposal by President Trump is seen as a potential turning point, aiming for a permanent cessation of hostilities, the immediate release of hostages, and safe humanitarian access for civilians. The plan, welcomed by Italy, presents a project for the stabilization, reconstruction, and development of the Gaza Strip with the involvement of regional partners.

Italy expressed readiness to collaborate closely with the United States, European, and regional pa
rtners, appreciating President Trump’s mediation efforts to bring peace to the Middle East. The Italian government urged all parties to seize this opportunity and accept the plan.

Hamas, which initiated the conflict with a terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, is urged to end the war by releasing hostages, agreeing to have no role in Gaza’s future, and disarming. Italy pledged support for Washington’s efforts to resume dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians toward a peaceful coexistence.

The Italian government reiterated the possibility of achieving a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, envisioning a State of Israel and a Palestinian State living peacefully side by side, and the full normalization of relations with Arab and Islamic nations.
