Rome, 30 April (LaPresse) – “What happened last night in the middle of the Mediterranean, hundreds of kilometres off the coast of Gaza, is unbelievable: in international waters, Israeli military vessels have boarded civilian boats, abducted hundreds of people and tampered with dozens of vessels, putting the crews at risk. And now they are even using derisive language towards the Flotilla initiative. Those who have committed the most heinous war crimes against the Palestinian population continue undeterred in their bandit-like actions. They think they have unlimited impunity.” This was stated by Nicola Fratoianni of AVS, who is returning to Rome from the local election campaign to follow developments in the affair. ‘Israel is a terrorist state,’ continues the Red-Green leader, ‘its ambassador to Italy must be summoned to the Foreign Ministry: not a hair on the heads of the kidnapped activists must be harmed; they must be released as soon as possible. And Italy’s condemnation,’ he concludes, ‘must be strong and clear.’
Flotilla, Fratoianni: ‘Israel is engaging in piracy and terrorism; they think they can get away with it’
