Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Tuesday that she and several senior members of her government have been reported to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague for alleged complicity in genocide, in connection with Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Speaking to Italy’s state broadcaster RAI, Meloni stated, “I, along with (Defense) Minister (Guido) Crosetto and Foreign Affairs) Minister (Antonio) Tajani, and I believe also the CEO of Leonardo, Roberto Cingolani, are targeted by a complaint before the International Criminal Court for complicity in genocide.”
Meloni said she was “amazed” by the accusations, asserting that “anyone who knows the situation is aware that Italy has not authorized new, let’s say, arms supplies to Israel after October 7.”
However, similar cases have been filed elsewhere in Europe. In Germany, legal complaints have been submitted to the ICC and domestic courts against government officials and arms manufacturers for their alleged role in facilitating Israel’s military operations in Gaza.
Additionally, over 100 French lawyers have also formally asked the ICC to investigate France’s complicity in genocide relating to Gaza.
