Italy’s Meloni visits Rome synagogue .

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who has expressed strong support for Israel, commemorates the anniversary on October 7 by visiting Rome’s main synagogue and reaffirming Israel’s right to defend itself.

Meloni also denounces the “latent and rampant anti-Semitism” that has emerged in the year since the Hamas attacks, citing in particular the pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel demonstrations in Italy this weekend, some of which have degenerated into violence .

While affirming Israel’s right to live safely within its borders, it insists it must respect international law and condemns the destruction caused by Israeli forces in Gaza. She claims that the Palestinians in Gaza have been “victims twice: first of the cynicism of Hamas, which uses them as human shields, then of Israeli military operations.”

As the current president of the Group of Seven, Italy will continue to work for an immediate ceasefire, “the release of the Israeli hostages and the stabilization of the Israeli-Lebanese border.”
