Summary by key points
Gaza: Israel authorises humanitarian aid for the winter
The Israeli government has authorised the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip to help the population prepare for the onset of winter. This was announced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, which specified that the plan includes the distribution of tents, blankets and warm clothing, as well as repairs to water and sewerage infrastructure.
“Despite Hamas’s refusal to honour its commitments, Israel has allowed further humanitarian supplies into Gaza to alleviate the hardships the population will face this winter,” reads the statement issued yesterday by the Prime Minister’s Office. According to the Israeli authorities, the plan was drawn up in coordination with the Board of Peace, the United Nations, international organisations and donor countries. The programme involves the entry into the Strip of over 8,200 lorries loaded with waterproof tarpaulins, blankets and winter clothing, along with more than 91,000 tents intended to house the displaced population. Plans also include repairs to water and sewage networks and the deployment of 12 specialised vehicles for the extraction and removal of wastewater. The Israeli government did not specify in the statement the expected timeframe for the completion of the deliveries.
Tehran designates the Argentine Navy and Air Force as “terrorist organisations”
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has announced that the Islamic Republic has designated the Argentine Navy and Air Force as terrorist organisations. In a statement, Tehran said the decision was taken after the Argentine government designated the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organisation, although this occurred back in April.
Red Sea: Crosetto urges EU countries to strengthen the Aspides mission. ‘Still nothing concrete’
The EUNAVFOR ASPIDES mission is a European Union naval operation, established in February 2024 to protect commercial shipping in the Red Sea from attacks by the Houthis, the Iranian-backed Yemeni armed movement. The mission has taken on further strategic importance as tensions have escalated and attempts have been made to block or threaten the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial chokepoint for the global transit of oil and gas.
In his most recent statements, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto has levelled rather sharp criticism at the failure of several European countries to make a tangible contribution to the mission. It is unacceptable, he told European governments, that the security of a strategic trade route for the whole of Europe should essentially fall on the shoulders of Italia and Greece. Italia has urged its EU partners to do more.
