Situation in Gaza (debate)

  Fiorello Provera (EFD), in writing. (IT) The conflict between Israel and Hamas and other terrorist factions operating in Gaza is asymmetric. On the one hand there is a state that has the right and the duty, like any other state, to protect its citizens from the over 5 000 missiles and rockets launched since 2005, and on the other a terrorist organisation the aim of which is the destruction of the State of Israel, deliberately targeting civilians in order to terrorise the population. The situation is even more worrying if we consider the military and financial support provided by Iran to Hamas and the ambiguous role played by the new Egypt, in which the Muslim Brotherhood is increasingly influential. To forget these facts and turn the victim into the aggressor is not only to encourage extremism but also to allow extremists to voice the claims of the Palestinian people. It is unrealistic to believe that peace can be achieved with Hamas.
