Premier Giorgia Meloni said after
talks in Beirut Friday with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati
that Israel needed to make a fresh effort at peace in Gaza,
saying that the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar could open
up a window fro a "new season" of peace.
"I came here to reiterate Italy's commitment to the ceasefire,"
she told a press conference in Beirut.
"Italy, with other international partners, has proposed a 21-day
ceasefire. Mikati and (Speaker Nabih) Berri have agreed to the
proposal, now an effort is needed from Israel".
She said Sinwar's "disappearance can offer a window for a new
season, a window that must be seized by Israel".
