She told reporters about this on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
"The ruling majority will present a resolution in Parliament stating that recognition of Palestine depends on the fulfillment of two conditions - the release of all hostages and the complete exclusion of Hamas from the Palestinian government," Meloni said.
She pointed out that she does not oppose the recognition of Palestine, but for this there must be "prerequisites for sovereignty."
"If they say that recognizing Palestine is an instrument of political pressure, I can understand that, but putting pressure on whom? I believe that the main political pressure should be exerted on Hamas, because Hamas has started a war and is not ending it without releasing the hostages," Meloni said.
Earlier, Andorra, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, San Marino and France announced recognition of the State of Palestine at a conference at the UN headquarters in New York. On September 21, Australia, Great Britain, Canada and Portugal officially recognized Palestine. According to their statements, the commitment to the principle of two States for two peoples is the key to peace and security for both the Palestinian and Israeli peoples. tass.ru.
