The Italian government approved a new decree on migration and safe countries, responding to ongoing tensions with the judiciary. Prime Minister Meloni emphasized defending borders, while the EU called for compliance with European law. The decree, discussed throughout the day, was finally approved in the evening Council of Ministers meeting. Justice Minister Nordio claimed Italian judges misunderstood a recent EU court ruling due to its complexity and French language. Simultaneously, the conflict in the Middle East continued to escalate, with reports of Israeli raids in Lebanon and Hamas claiming to have killed a hostage in Gaza. Foreign Minister Tajani visited Israel, seeking reassurances about UN peacekeeping forces. The day also saw discussions about constitutional changes regarding the separation of powers, sparked by comments from Senate President La Russa.
