Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has once again criticized Israel for its recent attack on United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon. In a press statement, Meloni condemned the Israeli military’s actions and expressed her concern over the safety of the peacekeepers deployed in the region.
The attack occurred on Monday when Israeli forces fired artillery shells near an outpost belonging to the UN peacekeeping force known as UNIFIL. The incident resulted in damage to the peacekeepers’ facilities and raised tensions in the already volatile region.
Meloni’s criticism of Israel comes amid ongoing international calls for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The Italian Prime Minister has been vocal in her support of a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict and has called for an immediate end to the violence.
Meloni’s stance has drawn both praise and criticism from various quarters, with some accusing her of taking sides in the conflict. However, the Prime Minister has stood by her position, emphasizing the need for all parties involved to respect international law and ensure the safety of civilians and peacekeepers in the region.
As tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East, Meloni’s criticism of Israel’s actions underscores the urgent need for a diplomatic solution to the conflict. The Italian government has reaffirmed its commitment to working with the international community to de-escalate the situation and promote peace in the region.
