Tajani calls for immediate ceasefire in Rafah

(ANSA) - MILAN, MAY 28 - Italian Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Tuesday that "we are absolutely opposed to the attack" by Israel on Rafah and called for an "immediate ceasefire" in the city in the south of the Gaza Strip.
    He added that "by launching missiles from Rafah, Hamas is only doing enormous harm to the Palestinian people".
    On Monday Tajani said that Israel had made a mistake and fallen into a trap set by Hamas amid international condemnation of its strike on tents housing displaced people in Rafah in which dozens of people were killed.
    The Israeli army said senior Hamas officials were killed in the strike.
    "Hamas is using Rafah to create further problems, luring Israel into a media trap," Tajani said. (ANSA).
