MILAN—Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said 47 migrants who have been blocked at sea off Sicily for 11 days on a rescue ship will be allowed to come ashore on Jan. 30, ending the latest migrant standoff.

“In a few hours, they will begin to disembark,” Conte told reporters in Milan. The migrants have been on the vessel since they were rescued off the Libyan coast.
