Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that recent remarks by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir are unacceptable to Italy, according to a Reuters report cited by N12. The specific statements to which Meloni referred were not detailed in the report. The comment marks a rare direct diplomatic rebuke by a major European leader of a senior Israeli minister. As The Zioneer previously reported in a separate context, Meloni has called for EU sanctions on Iran over the Middle East war — a position that signals a generally assertive Italian foreign policy stance in the region. No further elaboration from the Italian government has been published at this time.
