Operational restrictions have been imposed at four strategic Italian airports—Milan Linate, Bologna, Venice, and Treviso—amid severe fuel shortages. The measures prioritise ambulance and state flights, limiting short-haul aircraft to a supply ceiling of 2,000 litres, risking direct domestic routes without prior refuelling.

The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant. The ICC says both men – alongside a Hamas leader who was killed in July – bore “criminal responsibility” for crimes during the war between Israel and Hamas. The court accuses Israel of using starvation as a war tactic and for intentionally targeting civilians.

Despite Hungary’s resistance, Italy, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and France have signalled that they would respect the court’s decision and potentially arrest Netanyahu if he travelled to one of their countries.
