Elly Schlein claimed Rome cannot risk its ammunition being used in “war crimes.”
The Italian politician urged the Rome administration to stop supplying weapons to Israel. “Because we cannot risk weapons being used to commit what could be considered war crimes.”
Israel launched sustained air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip after a cross-border Hamas attack on 7 October that killed 1,200 people.
At least 24,927 Palestinians were killed, mostly women and children, and 62,388 were injured, according to Palestinian health authorities.
The Israeli offensive has displaced 85 percent of Gaza’s population amid severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine, and 60 percent of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
