Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said that Italy has the right to tell Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he is wrong to kill thousands of innocent Palestinians and create conditions for Hamas to garner more support.
"I believe it is right to tell Israel today that what is happening threatens to harm Israel itself," Crosetto said in statements on Thursday, according to the Italian news agency ANSA.
The Italian defense minister noted that "a friendly country has the right to tell Netanyahu that he is wrong. We must secure Palestine and give it a future."
