Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Tuesday that Italy could recognise a Palestinian state only if all Israeli hostages are released and Hamas is excluded from any governmental role. Speaking from New York at the United Nations General Assembly, she added that international pressure should be directed at Hamas rather than Israel, as the militant group initiated the conflict and is preventing its resolution by refusing to release the hostages.
