The path is marked. More anti-Israel, with a clear weakening of Hezbollah’s responsibilities (very serious). A platform that seems to have been taken from some university revolution, among many that have ignited universities in Europe and the United States. And instead it is the new position of the Democratic Party, which has lost all hesitation towards Israel, resting on the slogans of Giuseppe Conte and Angelo Bonelli. It is no coincidence that the three leaders have made overlapping statements in the last few hours. “Let’s stop all arms exports to Israel, Israel’s crimes are war crimes, Netanyahu’s criminal actions must be stopped and they are no longer tolerable,” says Elly Schlein. followed by the head of the M5S: “When will the Italian Government and the European institutions decide on the military embargo on Israel, on economic and commercial sanctions, to go beyond words?”.
Last but not least, the co-leader of the Alleanza Verdi Sinistra: “We are against the real criminal actions of the Israeli government”. Pd) on the line of “terror” Schlein also because he is part of the network “Left for Israel” Angelo Bonelli (Avs) “We stand aside. Israeli government to serious criminal actions” Sara Funaro (Pd) Yes i on the city council approved a move against Israel that disturbed the Jews of Carrai on October 7 last year: the responsibility is entirely on Israel, the “discoveries” of Hamas and Hezbollah, have always been mentioned in the declarations of the a broad camp.
The absence of the Tempio Maggiore in Rome for the first anniversary on October 7 was no accident. If these are typical positions for M5S and Avs, in the Democratic Party the axis on the Middle East has moved more and more to the left. Credit also goes to Peppe Provenzano, manager of Nazarene foreign affairs trained by Massimo D’Alema (someone who went hand in hand with Hezbollah), who confirmed the line of his secretary yesterday: «Italy is doing her part, supporting calls for an arms embargo on Israel. and recognizing the State of Palestine.” A positive approach, also because the pro-Israel minority is very small, a handful of parliamentarians active in the network «Left for Israel» (Fassino, Sensi, Quartapelle, Picierno).
And indeed it is Piero Fassino alone who responds in kind to Elly: “Proposing an arms embargo to Israel must, at the same time, ask Hezbollah to give up its arms arsenals.” ” Even at the local level, the signs are consistent with the “turning point”. In Udine, the city that hosted the Italy-Israel football match yesterday with the thousand inconveniences created by the pro Pal show, the city’s financial support was in question until the end : the mayor Alberto Felice De Toni, independent with the support of the Democratic Party, was given due to pressure from the governor of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Massimiliano Fedriga.
In Florence, the first citizen Sara Funaro, wanted by the MEP Dario Nardella (another supporter of the secretary’s international turn) had the City Council agree to a move that was hard fought by consul honorable Israel Marco Carrai. In addition, the line of the Democratic Party is increasingly further away from the line followed by the S&D group in Brussels, so much so that the Italian delegation, with the head of the Nicola Zingaretti’s group, voting far more often with the radical left. against Israel.
