Meloni’s Israel U‑turn ‘too late’ and proof of ‘political cowardice’: Italian MP

Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is under growing political pressure over the country's ties to Israel. On Tuesday, the government suspended a military cooperation agreement between the two countries, in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon over the past month. Now opponents are accusing Meloni of failing to stand up to Israel over its genocidal war on Gaza. A recent speech in parliament by MP Angelo Bonelli accusing the prime minister of “political cowardice” has gone viral. Bonelli told Al Jazeera that civil society protests in Italy played a big role in piling pressure on the Italian government to cease its agreement with Israel.
