Italian President Sergio Mattarella Urges Israel to Allow Aid to Gaza
- Italian President Sergio Mattarella urged Israel in 2025 to immediately open access to Gaza to allow humanitarian aid for the starving civilian population.
- Mattarella made the plea amid rising anti-Semitism and ongoing conflict following Hamas' attack and hostage-taking, emphasizing Israel’s right to security but condemning the blockade.
- He emphasized that Israeli forces need to allow international organizations access to provide comprehensive humanitarian aid to Gaza’s civilians, especially vulnerable groups like children and the elderly who are enduring severe hunger.
- Mattarella asserted, "The fire is immediately imposed," highlighting the region's tragedy and calling the refusal to apply humanitarian law to Gaza's citizens unacceptable.
- His statements reflect growing international pressure for ceasefire and humanitarian access, as several countries threaten consequences if Israel continues its military operations in Gaza.
