Marco Botenga reacts. He turned to Adam Traps from the mouthpiece
Adam Trap's behaviour drew attention to Belgian politician Mark Botenga of the Workers' organization of Belgium.
— First, can I ask you to refrain from laughing? Botenga.
— You laughed erstwhile we talked about how many Palestinians died and inactive starved. You joked and laughed. It's not funny. Palestinians are human, too. You should be ashamed and this is actual for the full EU. You show contempt for Palestinians,” he added.
The Belgian MEP then pointed out that although the Trap noted that the situation in Gaza was deteriorating, it did not indicate the reasons for the situation. — Why is the situation getting worse? due to the fact that Israel blocks all humanitarian aid, food, and even electricity, Boteng added. “And you are laughing, Minister, how is that possible?” he asked.
The situation was highlighted by abroad media. She was noted, among others, by English-speaking Al Jazeera.
