«The attack on Global Sumud Flotilla that took place tonight is of extreme gravity and worries a lot. I was in telephone contact with our parliamentarians on board while the sound bombs on the boats exploded. Fortunately, they are not injured, but the violence with which the drones began to attack the boats, full of humanitarian aid, it is necessary to remember it, when they are still more than 500 miles from the coasts of Gaza is disturbing ».
So the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein. «I had already asked in a letter to Giorgia Meloni that the Italian government supervised and guaranteed the safety of the crews engaged in this humanitarian mission. Tonight also have also been attached boats with Italian citizens and citizens in international waters: it is a resolved attack on our country by the Israeli government. President Meloni cannot be silent in the face of this – he underlines -, say what he intends to do to guarantee the security of these Italians who operate in full respect of international humanitarian law, because, evidently, his action has so far been ineffective. The government gives us explanations on the origin of these drones, from where they start and on what initiatives intends to undertake to allow safe navigation to the whole crew “.
