Milan, 21 Aug. (LaPresse) – “We are always pleased when legal proceedings bring to light the illegal actions carried out by the Israeli government.” Maria Elena Delia, spokesperson for the Italian delegation of the Global Sumud Flotilla, made these remarks to LaPresse, commenting on Turkey’s decision to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as part of the legal proceedings relating to the attack carried out in international waters against activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla. “We ourselves have filed legal actions with the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office,” she added, “but we wish to point out that this takes place against a backdrop in which the Palestinian people have been enduring far worse for decades.” “The hope is that, following an example such as that” set by Turkey, other countries “might follow suit,” added Delia, “but we know that there are a number of economic and political ties involving many other governments, including our own. I do not know if this will happen, but we hope it will.”
