Forza Italia Senator Maurizio Gasparri is a guest on the November 11 episode of Stasera Italia Weekend, the Rete4 talk show hosted by Augusto Minzolini. In the program we discuss the conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has been going on for more than a month: “What was done on October 7th was indescribable. As we talk, we forget that among the hostages there are Israeli children and the elderly, even children younger than one year old, and hostages who cannot walk because of their age. When it is said that Israel must cease fire and establish a humanitarian ceasefire, of course we all want there to be no wars, but why is there no strong initiative to release the hostages? Every now and then they show pictures with hostages that are used as threats. There are either elderly people or very young children. It seems to me that a woman was filmed on video saying goodbye to a deceased relative and she obviously doesn’t know and no one can really tell her. That’s why I think pressure for the release of the hostages is essential.”

“Israel – says the blue senator with certainty – will not stop firing, even the hospital affair is clear. It may not hit the hospital, but we all know that Hamas typically uses tunnels and corridors under targets that obviously cannot be hit because bombing a hospital would be a mistake, but they are there. This horror must be repeated because it is not a parallel but an attack by fundamentalists and terrorists on a free and democratic country that has decided not to be massacred. Then we can make all the appeals we want, but that is the situation,” comments Gasparri.
