Milan, Sept. 24 (LaPresse) – “This is a disgraceful, unacceptable attack. I contacted our senator Marco Croatti, who is on board the flotilla vessels heading to Gaza, and he updated me on last night’s attacks on the boats, the damage, the destroyed sails—clearly aimed at sabotaging this humanitarian mission driven by all those who refuse to look away from the genocide by Netanyahu’s criminal government in Gaza. The attacks occurred in international waters near Crete. Croatti is on a boat flying the Italian flag, one of those targeted last night. Where are the patriots in the government? Meloni and Tajani must immediately defend the safety of these people with firm and decisive actions,” wrote the M5S leader Giuseppe Conte on X.
He added, “Empty words are not enough—there needs to be a political shift, a clear statement and intervention—first and foremost by the government and Prime Minister Meloni—against Netanyahu. There are citizens being treated like terrorists on those boats, many Italians deserve to be defended. There is no more time.”
