Giorgia Meloni’s moral retreat on Gaza

In 2014, Giorgia Meloni, then a member of the Italian parliament, condemned the massacres of children in Gaza. As Prime Minister, her remarks on Gaza have become ambiguous, exemplified by her statement on the Iran conflict where she said she 'neither condemns nor condones' the situation. Recently, Italy suspended the automatic renewal of its defense pact with Israel, but this decision was prompted by incidents involving Italian peacekeepers, rather than the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
