In an interview with the Adnkronos agency, Mona Abuamara, Palestinian ambassador to Italy, expressed a strong and clear request: the implementation of fines against Israeli ministers. The diplomat stressed the urgency of ending the occupation and apartheid that plague her people.
An appeal to the international community
Abuamara highlighted how the recognition of the Palestinian state Italy's commitment to the Palestinian cause can provide an ethical and legal basis for strengthening international support. In his view, it is crucial to address not only the symptoms of the crisis, but also the roots of the injustices suffered by Palestinians. It is essential to respect the international law and the principles that the global community promotes, he said, stressing the importance of working towards a lasting resolution.
Italy's role in diplomacy
The diplomat emphasized that Italy has already made significant efforts in terms of humanitarian and diplomatic assistance. However, she urged intensifying efforts to resolve the political issue. "Italy, as an ally of Israel, should push for the opening of the borders to allow the entry of humanitarian aid," Abuamara stated. Furthermore, she proposed the adoption of sanctions not only against individual settlers, but also against the system that supports the occupation.
The Pope's visit as a symbol of hope
A central theme of the ambassador's speech was the importance of a papal visit to the Gaza Strip. Abuamara said that such a gesture would be a sign of hope for the Palestinians, demonstrating that their plight has not been forgotten by the world. "The Pope's presence in Gaza could expose Netanyahu's religious war propaganda," he emphasized.
A gesture of humanity
The pontiff's visit, according to Abuamara, would be historic because for the first time Israel would allow a religious leader access to the devastated territory. "This would be an act of great significance for the Palestinian population, offering them a ray of hope." hope and visibility,” he said, adding that it would be a gesture of humanity in a context of profound suffering.
Peace prospects and current challenges
The ambassador expressed skepticism about Israel's real will to pursue a true medium-high paceHe emphasized that Israel's actions do not demonstrate any interest in a two-state solution, but rather an intention to continue its occupation policy. "Israel does not seek peace, but seizes every opportunity to perpetuate the conflict," he stated firmly.
In this context, he made an appeal to international community, to take action to guarantee the Palestinians' right to self-determination and to put concrete pressure on Israel to open its borders to allow aid to reach them.
Criticisms of Trump's policies
Abuamara criticized the policies of the US president Donald Trump, highlighting the paradox of a leader proposing a peace plan yet excluding Palestinians from entering the United States. The decision has been called "incomprehensible" and reflecting Israel's exclusive interests.
The European Union's double standards
The ambassador highlighted the double standard adopted by the European Union in the face of crises in Gaza and UkraineHe noted that the injustices suffered by Palestinians do not receive the same attention and support as other conflict situations. "If Palestinian rights are not respected with the same seriousness, justice appears partial," he said.
Abuamara concluded his remarks by emphasizing the importance of accountability for violations of international law. He called for Israel to be held accountable for its actions. Only in this way can we truly hope for meaningful and lasting change in the region.
