He stressed the need for immediate intervention to stop the "horror." Fratoianni's passionate appeal highlights growing concerns within Italy about the international community's response to the violence in Gaza. His call for sanctions and recognition of the Palestinian state reflects a sentiment shared by many, putting pressure on the Italian government to adopt a more assertive stance.
