"I know that not everyone agrees in this room, but we must restore all funds to NGOs and UN agencies that are responsible for supporting the Palestinian population who are not to blame for the actions of Hamas."
Thus the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein speaking in the Chamber on the motions on the crisis in the Middle East, underlining that "we need an international interposition mission in Gaza, which involves the Arab countries, under the aegis of the United Nations" and a "peace conference" - "In recent months - he observed - the situation has worsened, with over 28 thousand Palestinians of which 10 thousand children have been killed. Gaza is an unsafe territory. History judges not tomorrow, but already today, Hamas is not the Palestinian people, to do this equation is to do Hamas a favor."
"Israel has the right to exist in peace and security but on the other hand there is not even recognition of the State of Palestine: our motion asks the government to push for the recognition of the State of Palestine by the EU, because for the first time there is an Israeli head of government who denies this recognition, undermining the two-people-two-state perspective which remains the only prospect for peace."
