Meloni reported to the International Criminal Court for supporting Israel

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that she and two ministers in her government had been reported to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged complicity in genocide in connection with the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip.

In an interview with the public television broadcaster RAI, she specified that the accused include Defense Minister Guido Crosetto and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, and probably also the head of the defense contractor Leonardo, Roberto Cingolani.

Meloni did not comment in detail on the allegations, but hinted that they were related to her government's stance on Israel and its support for the Jewish state's right to self-defense.
