Gaza, centre-left MPs with keffiyehs around their necks in the chamber: “Stop the genocide”

With the keffiyeh around their necks to shout "stop the genocide" in Gaza . The deputies of the interparliamentary group for peace between Palestine and Israel, returning from the trip to the Rafah crossing, 'call' Prime Minister Meloni to the chamber and ask for the suspension of any commercial relationship with Israel. "We have been left out, just as they have been left out of food and water, from that Strip that not even the UN enters anymore", says Marco Grimaldi of Avs. "We ask President Meloni to be here in the chamber, to listen to these stories and to express her opinion on the opposition's proposals. Trump's dystopia, considered madness even by you in the majority, that is, evacuating two million Palestinians from Gaza, is becoming a reality". And he adds: " Netanyahu said he wants to take control of the Strip, avoiding famine only to not compromise the military operation, killing civilians. Smortich said that with God's help the Palestinians will move to third countries as per Trump's plan. For us this was apartheid, it was occupation and today it is genocide. This is why we ask Giorgia Meloni to come to the Chamber, to not be an accomplice and block any activity with Israel, even in purchasing cybersecurity devices".

"The Prime Minister, a mother and a Christian, has not said a word against the genocide of about 60 thousand civilians, 30 thousand children", adds Stefania Ascari , M5S deputy. "The intergroup has seen the genocide first-hand, she adds, we have seen with our own eyes the shelves full of food at the Rafah border crossing, antibiotics, basic necessities that could save the lives of children, our children, children like your daughter, President Meloni".

There were moments of tension in the defense committee of the Chamber before the green light to continue a program that includes the purchase of technological instruments from Israeli companies. The opposition, given what is happening in Gaza, had reportedly asked for the suspension of the measure that the majority approved instead. In particular, the Avs deputy Grimaldi, present at the meeting even though he was not part of it, allegedly addressed harsh accusations to the majority, shouting: "You suck". A heated verbal clash with the majority and in particular with some exponents of FdI followed.
