Italy demands Israel stops strikes, blasts expulsions of Gazans
Italy's foreign minister again urged Israel to stop its strikes on Gaza, while warning that expelling Palestinians from the territory "is not and will never be an acceptable option".
"The legitimate reaction of the Israeli government to a terrible and senseless terrorist act has unfortunately taken on absolutely tragic and unacceptable forms, that we ask Israel to stop immediately," Antonion Tajani told parliament, referring also to Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
"The bombings must stop, humanitarian assistance must resume as soon as possible, respect for international humanitarian law must be restored," he said.
"Hamas must immediately free all the hostages which are still today in its in hands, and who have the right to return to their homes."

Israeli Minister Ben Gvir Storms Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Zionist entity's so-called National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed the Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Wednesday, accompanied by dozens of settlers and protected by heavily armed Israeli occupation police. According to the Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs in Al-Quds, Ben-Gvir entered the courtyards of the mosque under tight security measures enforced by occupation forces, including special units. It marks his eighth intrusion into the holy site since joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government in 2022. Israeli Jewish supremacist and hard-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, heavily protected by police, breaks into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, in defiance of the sentiments of millions of Muslims worldwide. — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) June 11, 2025 Eyewitnesses and local sources reported that groups of settlers entered the compound from the Moroccan Gate (Bab Al-Maghariba), performed provocative tours. Some were seen performing open Talmudic rituals near the eastern section of the mosque before exiting through the Chain Gate (Bab al-Silsila). The incursion was led by Ben-Gvir alongside senior Israeli police officers, drawing widespread condemnation from Palestinians in Al-Quds. The Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs described the move as a serious provocation and a deliberate escalation. In parallel, Israeli occupation police intensified their restrictions at the mosque's entrances, preventing many Palestinians from entering or praying. Several worshippers had their ID cards confiscated, while others were delayed or turned away entirely—a continuation of long-standing measures aimed at tightening Israeli control over the holy site.

Israeli Occupation Forces Breach Blue Line Again, Escalating Ceasefire Violations in Lebanon
The Israeli occupation forces once again violated the UN-demarcated Blue Line on Wednesday morning, as over 50 Zionist soldiers, accompanied by two military bulldozers, crossed into Lebanese territory at the 'Bir Shouaib' area east of the southern town of Blida. The troops began excavation work at the same site where a similar breach occurred ten days ago—an incursion that was fully cleared by the Lebanese Army at the time. This latest violation came just hours after Israeli forces withdrew from Lebanese areas near Mais Al-Jabal and Blida. It was soon revealed that bulldozers had dug two large trenches and erected earth mounds in both 'Kroum Al-Mrah,' east of Mays El Jabal, and 'Bir Shouaib,' east of Blida—a clear continuation of Zionist desperate efforts to entrench control over Lebanese frontier areas. Circulating Video | Civilian footage shows Lebanese Army reinforcements heading toward the site of the Israeli incursion in 'Kroum Al-Mrah,' east of Mays Al-Jabal, late Wednesday night: Sustained Violations of UN Resolution 1701 These actions constitute a documented breach of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 war and obligates respect for the delineated border. Additionally, the escalations form part of a broader pattern of violations by Israeli occupation forces since the internationally brokered ceasefire took effect in November 2024. Despite Lebanon's restraint and continued coordination with UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon), the occupation has persisted with limited incursions, earthworks, surveillance deployments, sporadic gunfire, and intensive aerial reconnaissance over southern Lebanon.
