Middle East, Tajani: ‘Sanctions against extremist Israeli ministers approved’

Rome, 18 September (LaPresse) – ‘The decisions made by Netanyahu’s government have long exceeded the limits of a proportionate response, violating the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law. I discussed this again this morning with the Prime Minister, who is kept constantly informed.’ This was stated by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani during Question Time in the Senate. We continue to strongly support any new measures against Hamas, we are in favour of adopting further sanctions against violent settlers, we have already imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers, and we are in favour of adopting new sanctions against ministers who have taken unacceptable positions on both Gaza and the West Bank.”
