Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said
Wednesday "Italy reiterates its deep concern for the spiral of
attacks and violence that is being generated in the Palestinian
Occupied Territories and in Israel" and stressed that "now it is
a priority to avoid the loss of further human lives and for this
reason we strongly urge all the parties to immediately take
measures of de-escalation and to adhere to the utmost
moderation".
He said "we firmly condemn the launching of rockets from Gaza. I
want to say this with great clarity: the indiscriminate
launching of rockets is unacceptable in all circumstances ad
must therefore cease".
At least 56 Palestinians including 14 children have been killed
by Israeli airstrikes and at least six Israelis by rockets
launched by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
