Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says Hamas would not have attacked Israel if Russia had not launched a special military operation in Ukraine. Meloni expressed this opinion in an interview with the newspaper Il Giornale.

According to the Italian prime minister, outbreaks of world conflicts will multiply if “international legality” is not restored in the Donbass. Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, said that the Russian Federation, as a result of a special operation, would end the war.
