Italian PM says Gaza aid flotilla brings ‘no benefit’ to Palestinians
After the detention of 22 Italians by Israel, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni repeated her criticism of their attempt to reach Gaza and break the siege.
“Obviously, we will do everything we can to ensure these people can return to Italy as soon as possible,” Meloni told reporters at a European Union meeting in Denmark. “I continue to believe that all this brings no benefit to the Palestinian people.”
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told parliament earlier that Israel has detained 22 Italian citizens who were in good health.
“I am relieved to note that the rules of engagement have been respected and that, up to this point, no acts of violence or complications have been recorded in the operation carried out by the Israeli forces,” Tajani said.
Israel’s interception of the flotilla led to protests in Italy, with unions calling a general strike for Friday.

Kuwait monitoring situation of nationals detained from aid ship
Kuwait says it’s closely watching the plight of its detained nationals on board the GSF vessel, the Spectre, which was intercepted by the Israeli navy.
Foreign Minister Abdullah Ali al-Yahya told the state news agency KUNA his ministry “is exerting all possible efforts to ensure the safety of the citizens and is working for their immediate release”.
“The Foreign Ministry will spare no efforts in this regard,” he said, adding the safety of Kuwaiti citizens is a “top priority”.
According to the flotilla tracker, three Kuwaiti nationals are part of the aid convoy, of whom two were detained following an Israeli raid on their boat. Those detained are being transported to Israel’s Ashdod port.
