Title: Meloni: "Hamas Has Trapped Israel"

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated today that "Hamas wanted Israel to fall into a trap and succeeded in doing so." She said, "What I said before and truly believe is that it seems Israel is jumping into a trap, because Hamas wanted it to fall into the trap, and it appears they are succeeding." Regarding the lack of condemnation of Israel and the position on sanctions: "We must remember who started this conflict, and it is not Israel." She added, "What we need to do now is work towards peace, which is what we are already doing." She continued, "We must dialogue and recognize Israel's right to be safe and the Palestinians' right to have their own state to live in safely, and that is exactly what we are doing, this is the only way."
