Benjamin Netanyahu would be welcome
in Italy, Deputy Premier, Transport Minister and right-wing
League party leader Matteo Salvini said a day after the Israeli
prime minister was charged with war crimes in Gaza by the
International Criminal Court.
"I plan to meet with members of the Israeli government soon and
if Netanyahu came to Italy he would be welcome. The war
criminals are others" said Salvini.
He said it was "disrespectful" to call "the prime minister of
one of the few democracies in the Middle East" a war criminal.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday invited
Netanyahu to Prague saying he was "challenging" the ICC's
veridct on the Israeli prime minister, his ex defence minister
and the late head of Hamas.
