25/06/2025 | 16:27:25 Thank you, Mister President, I would like to begin by apologising for not being able to come this week due to the situation in the area. Two weeks ago, Israel launched Operation Am KE'Lavi – "with the strength of a lion" in order to thwart Iran's plan to develop a nuclear bomb. As the German chancellor said, Israel is doing the dirty work of all of us. While Israel is carefully targeting nuclear facilities, ballistic missile sites and senior military commanders, Iran is targeting civilians... 28/01/2025 | 17:18:55 Thank you, Mister President. Distinguished Member of the Parliamentary Assembly, tomorrow this Council will mark 80 years from the liberation of Auschwitz. Its base is an international day for remembering the victim, but education the next generation against hate and against terrorism and against dehumanisation. For the people In Israel, 7 October is the most painful day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

But you have not just - you need... 01/10/2024 | 19:05:50 Thank you, Mister President. It was very hard for me to focus in all these things that I heard here. And I prepared a speech, but it's a waste of time. It was very hard for me to focus because when you're speaking about human rights, my family, all my family, sitting in the safe room when 102 missiles from Iran shooting on Israel and no one, no one, speaks about it. And at the same time, eight people were murdered now in Tel Aviv from a terror organisation, terror attacked, 8 people went to... 27/06/2024 | 18:44:53 Dear members of the Assembly, I would like to thank the Chairperson of the Sub-Committee on the Middle East and the Arab World, Mr Piero FASSINO, for his initiative in holding the current affairs debate on the war in Gaza. Almost nine months after the horrific massacre carried out by Hamas terrorists on 7 October 2023, there are still 120 women, men, children, and elderly, being held captive by Hamas in harsh conditions. All of us, regardless of our political positions, should stand together...
