"Minister Antonio Tajani is a friend of Israel, he has demonstrated his friendship both in deeds and in words, both before the war in Gaza and during.
We must listen carefully to what he tells us. I agree that our effort must continue to focus on reducing civilian casualties in Gaza by increasing the amount of assistance. Hamas on the other hand is using civilians as human shields and preventing their access to aid. It is a difficult situation."
This was said by the Israeli ambassador to Italy, Alon Bar, speaking on the Ping Pong program on Rai Radio1.
