Overview
- During the Oct. 5 broadcast of Omnibus on La7, an hour of escalating argument ended with journalist Luca Telese leaving the studio.
- Daniele Capezzone accused MEP Benedetta Scuderi and other Italian parliamentarians of abandoning activists by flying home shortly after the flotilla was intercepted.
- Capezzone further alleged Hamas financing of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a claim Telese rejected on air before exiting the program.
- The exchange featured insults including “Vai con Hamas,” “Stai a cuccia,” and “fascista rosso,” and host Gaia Tortora called Telese’s walkout “theatrical” as he later announced a follow‑up appearance on In Onda.
- Reports cited that four MPs left Israel about 24 hours before a larger group was expelled and that roughly 15 Italians remain detained, while Capezzone also questioned a reported €400,000 fundraising figure for the mission.
