Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani says Israel’s bombing of Gaza, where civilian deaths are rising, is “disproportionate.”

While strongly condemning the Hamas attack of October 7 and defending Israel’s right to defend itself, he tells RAI Radio 1 that “at this point Israel’s reaction against the Palestinian civilian population is disproportionate… there are too many victims who have nothing to do with Hamas.”
