Title: Italian Foreign Minister: "Hamas" Alone is Responsible for the Conflict with Israel

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani stated today, Tuesday, that "the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) is solely responsible for the ongoing conflict with Israel." In his speech to Parliament, Tajani mentioned, "The Italian government is working hard to repatriate its citizens from Israel amid escalating tensions in the region." He added that "500 Italian citizens are expected to leave Israel in the coming days on special and military flights." Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes continued intensive bombing of Gaza City, and as the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation entered its fourth day, the head of Hamas's political bureau, Ismail Haniya, affirmed that "Israel will pay a heavy price for its crimes and terrorism."
