The Italian Prime Minister Giorgia meloni strongly criticized the initiative of the resilience flotilla,, intended to break the Gaza blockade. According to her, it is not a humanitarian mission, but an action aimed at “creating problems in the Italian government”.
“This flotilla is dangerous and irresponsible. There is no need to risk your own safety or enter a war zone to send Gaza help, “she said. The government’s heading added that the Italian authorities were able to transport humanitarian aid to Palestinian territory “in just a few hours”.
Meloni also appealed to responsibility, in particular to the address of Italian parliamentarians involved in the initiative.
