The Farnesina announced today that “the Italian government, in agreement with the Egyptian and Israeli authorities, managed to get another 12 Palestinian citizens out of Gaza. They are all relatives of Italian citizens or those with the right of residence, and after days of waiting they passed through the Rafah crossing to enter Egypt.” It also reports the statement by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who explained that “Since the initial stages of the conflict, Italy has been committed to assisting the Palestinians and ensuring the sending of humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Gaza, victims of the madness of Hamas, which uses them instrumentally in the conflict.”
There is no need to delve into the reasons for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be astounded by the minister’s statement, so much so that if Hamas is a terrorist organization, the Israeli government ministers who incite the atomic bomb on Gaza and the expulsion of all Palestinians from their lands they are instead excellent allies, friends to support.
In short, the music is that the responsibility for the 23 thousand deaths, including 8 thousand children killed by bombs or crushed by rubble, lies with Hamas, not with those who are killing them. If over two million people live in an area that is less than a third of Rome because there are those who have appropriated their lands with tanks, it is the fault of those who took refuge, not those who took possession of their lands. homes.
If a country doesn’t care about an infinite number of UN resolutions and its leader talks about annexing the territories of another, it’s not okay if it’s Putin but it’s okay if it’s Netanyahu.
Tajani has adopted as a strategy the total flattening (and obedience) of Italy to the politics of Washington, the first ally of the far right government in Tel Aviv, and as in the case of Russia and many other issues, having thrown in the bin, sovereignty in foreign policy coincides little with the interests of Italians.
For the record, the Farnesina statement continues with Tajani’s statements: “at the same time we continue to tell our Israeli friends that there must be a proportionate reaction”. 23 thousand civilian deaths, double that in almost two years of war in Ukraine, and the maximum that comes from the Italian Foreign Minister is the invitation to “Israeli friends” (are the Palestinians enemies?) “to a proportionate reaction”…
