"We are extremely concerned and distressed by the dramatic escalation in the Middle East following the joint attack by the US and Israel on Iran. Trump said he would bring peace and put an end to conflicts, but instead we are seeing an escalation, outside international law and multilateral forums, which could have unpredictable consequences, including for the fragile truce in Gaza, which we all welcomed and asked all parties to respect." This was stated by PD secretary Elly Schlein, speaking in Milan at a party event dedicated to health.
