Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also called for "pressure on Israel to halt the massacre in Gaza" during the Arab League summit in Baghdad, where Arabs and UN leaders voiced similar calls. Italy's government on Saturday also upped its exhortations to Israel to stop deadly military strikes in Gaza, with Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani saying: "Enough with the attacks."

"We no longer want to see the Palestinian people suffer," Tajani said during a trip to Sicily, in remarks relayed by his spokesman. "Let's come to a ceasefire, let's free the hostages, but let's leave people who are victims of Hamas alone," he was cited as saying.
