Italy condemns killing of journalists in Israeli strike on Gaza hospital

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has condemned the killing of journalists in Gaza, calling their deaths “unjustifiable” during a speech on Wednesday.

Her comments came after an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza on Monday killed at least 20 people, including five journalists working for Middle East Eye, Reuters, the Associated Press, Al Jazeera, and other outlets.

Meloni’s remarks add to a growing chorus of international criticism over Israel’s attacks on Gaza’s medical facilities and journalists.
