Milan, 2 September (LaPresse) – ‘European countries that flatter themselves and succumb to Hamas' manipulations will eventually discover terrorism in the flesh.’ This was stated by Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, commenting on Belgium's announcement to recognise the Palestinian state. ‘Here in Israel, too, there were those who once believed in such illusions, and in return we received rape, murder and massacres,’ Gvir added, ‘instead of rewarding terrorism, the free world should unite against it.’ This was reported by the Israeli media.
