Italian media on September 25 began by focusing on Prime Minister Meloni's address to the UN, where she criticized Russia for violating the UN charter and stated that Israel had exceeded limits in Gaza. She also attacked "politicized judges" regarding migration. Early afternoon coverage then shifted to Defense Minister Crosetto's statements on the Flotilla incident, where he condemned the attack and announced the deployment of a second frigate for protection, while emphasizing no security guarantees in Israeli waters. Later, the Flotilla rejected proposals to divert aid to Cyprus, prompting anger from Israel, with an Israeli official claiming the Flotilla was Hamas-funded. The focus continued to evolve with prominent reports on NATO jets intercepting Russian aircraft near Latvian and Danish airspace, followed by a warning from the Russian ambassador that shooting down their jets would lead to war. Concurrently, the conviction of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy for receiving funds from Gaddafi also garnered significant attention.
