Pittaluga Response

Finally, a few hours ago, Pittaluga clarified his position, also through a tweet: “I want to clarify: I am not an anti-Zionist, let alone an anti-Semitic. In no way do I justify the Hamas movement which I consider to be a terrorist group. My opinion is against Netanyahu’s policy. I believe in the peaceful coexistence of the two countries, Israel and Palestine ”.

The crisis in the Gaza Strip, which dates back a few days, began with the bombing of missiles by Hamas against Israel, a country it managed to deactivate with its defensive shield called “the iron dome”.

For its part, Israel also responded with missiles and even today sent armed forces to the region, which is expected to exacerbate the conflict.
