Italian media on September 30 initially focused on Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan and the controversial sale of San Siro stadium. By late morning, attention shifted dramatically to the femicide in Benevento, where a woman was killed with stones, her husband sought, and their children missing. The husband was later apprehended, but one child was found dead and the other gravely injured.
Later in the day, the Gaza flotilla re-emerged as a major focus, with Italian authorities warning it to stop and the Israeli Navy preparing for intervention as the boats neared a risk zone. Prime Minister Meloni urged the flotilla to cease its mission, citing risks to the truce. Concurrently, the Pentagon's declaration about preparing for war also received some coverage.
