Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also commended Qatar and other Arab nations for their active role in brokering peace. In a post on X, she noted that the U.S. peace plan—approved by Israel and supported by European and Islamic states as well as the Palestinian Authority—had received an initial positive response from Hamas, which signaled willingness to release hostages within a ceasefire framework.
Meloni emphasized the urgency of
collective international action, stating, “We must all commit ourselves to
ensuring that this extraordinary opportunity is seized.”
