Gianfranco Fini's Fiery TV Return Backs Meloni and Tempers Gaza Rhetoric

He framed Palestinian recognition as largely symbolic, questioning the rush to label Gaza a genocide.

Overview

  • In a tense half-hour on La7’s Otto e Mezzo, Fini sparred with host Lilli Gruber and later apologized for his raised tone.
  • He reaffirmed loyalty to Giorgia Meloni, saying he has supported her and will vote for her again.
  • Discussing the Global Sumud Flotilla off Crete, he called the blasts “actions of disturbance,” praised the humanitarian aim, and noted the mission’s political markings.
  • On Gaza, he urged avoiding rigid labels such as “genocide” and said the priority is finding remedies to the crisis.
  • He said recognizing a Palestinian state is a duty yet largely symbolic without a Palestinian leadership, and he defended commemorating Charlie Kirk despite not previously knowing him.
