Italy's foreign ministry called Thursday for the "immediate release" of five Italian activists held in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Middle East Eye reported. The ministry did not specify the activists' identities or the circumstances of their detention.
The appeal marks Italy's formal intervention in the case, though details on how long the activists have been held or what charges they face remain unclear.
