Italy urges release of 5 detained women in West Bank
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani emphasized that Italy is demanding the immediate release of five Italian activists who were detained by Israeli forces in the West Bank. They were arrested while attempting to protect Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest season. Reports indicate that the women, who were detained on Thursday in Beitar Illit, will be forwarded to Israeli immigration authorities pending deportation procedures. Meanwhile, the Italian Foreign Ministry has urgently requested clarifications from Israel regarding their detention. These incidents occur amid escalating tensions during the olive harvest season, which has seen deaths and injuries among Palestinians, journalists, and diplomats due to attacks by extremist settlers. Human rights advocates in Israel have accused the violence of being part of an ethnic cleansing campaign aimed at annexing the West Bank without its Palestinian residents.
