Italian prime minister condemns drone attacks on Gaza aid flotilla boats
Despite condemnation Giorgia Meloni also criticised the flotilla mission as ‘dangerous and irresponsible’
Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni has condemned an overnight drone attack on a flotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza, but also criticised the mission as “dangerous and irresponsible” and claimed it was aimed at “creating problems” for her government.
Meloni’s comments came after Italy said it was sending a navy ship to assist the convoy of about 50 vessels, which have on board many pro-Palestinian activists, including the Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg, after it was attacked in international waters off Greece.
