Arms to Israel: The Democratic Party, Italian Socialist Party (PD), and Five Star Movement (M5S) motion calling for a halt to military cooperation has been rejected.

The Chamber of Deputies rejected the joint motion by the Democratic Party, Five Star Movement, and the Italian Socialist Party (Avis) calling for the suspension of the Memorandum of Understanding with the State of Israel, which the government rejected. It proposed some rewording of the other motions.

The motions by Conte, Schlein, Bonelli et al., Boschi, Magi, and Schullian concerned initiatives to formally denounce the Memorandum of Understanding on military and defense cooperation with the government of the State of Israel. Iv and Azione abstained (105 votes in favor, 142 against). The motion was voted on separately, and Azione and Iv also voted in favor of the first paragraph of the preamble, but it too was rejected after the government opposed it.

The motion by Italia Viva, led by Boschi , was approved, but the text was reformulated at the government's request, which then gave a favorable opinion. The motion was voted on separately; the Democratic Party, Five Star Movement, and Avs abstained on the bulk of the Iv text, while they voted differently on just one paragraph of the preamble.

The Più Europa motion was ultimately rejected. The majority had not submitted its own text.

"Italy is engaged in intense diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire and halt the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Our country has repeatedly reiterated the need to end hostilities, restore a full flow of aid, and release hostages. Our support for the Palestinian people is concrete and constant," explained Undersecretary of Defense Matteo Perego di Cremnago , explaining his position. He noted that the Memorandum of Understanding between Italy and Israel on military and defense cooperation, signed in Paris on June 16, 2003, "has enabled the creation of production and industrial chains, strengthening the defense of our country and our military by ensuring access to advanced technologies. Italy's approach to arms supplies to Israel is in line with Italian and international regulations: after October 7, Italy suspended all new authorizations for arms exports to Israel, a practice that continues to this day." Therefore, the Undersecretary concludes, "it is not necessary to suspend an agreement that does not include specific obligations and has not prevented a restrictive approach, notwithstanding that the memorandum will expire in April 2026 and the executive reserves the right, by that date, to carry out assessments of merit and appropriateness."
