Din il-ġimgħa segwejna lkoll segwejna d-deċiżjoni storika tal-Gvern Malti, u tal-Prim Ministru Robert Abela li fil-Ġnus Magħquda, irrikonoxxa formalment lill-Istat Palestinjan.
Inizjattiva mmexxija mill Ewroparlamentari Malti Daniel Attard, u appoġġata minn 42 MEP, sejħet lill FIFA u lill UEFA biex jieħdu azzjoni urġenti kontra l Assoċjazzjoni tal Futbol Iżraeljana li qed tikser b’mod kontinwu r regolamenti tagħhom stess.
Waqt dibattitu fil-Parlament Ewropew dwar is-sitwazzjoni f’Gaża, l-Ewroparlamentari Laburista Daniel Attard wissa li l-kredibbiltà tal-Ewropa qed tiġi kompromessa b’nuqqas ta’ azzjoni konkreta.

The atrocities of the Second World War are being repeated today — ironically by the Israeli Government, which continues to commit crimes against humanity. Every passing day means more children killed, more families destroyed, more dreams buried beneath the rubble.
Right now, as you read this, European-made weapons are being used in Gaza. Weapons to a military that shoots at civilians desperately waiting for food. Weapons that kill children. Weapons that starve entire populations. Why are we allowing this? Germany alone has been Israel’s second-largest arms supplier, providing 30% of Israel’s major arms imports between 2019 and 2023, worth €326.5 million in 2023 alone. Italy…
Daniel Attard ġie maħtur bħala n-negozjatur ewlieni tal-Parlament Ewropew fuq il-viżjoni għat-turiżmu sostenibbli fl-Ewropa. Din il-ħatra tfisser li Dr Attard se jmexxi n-negozjati f’isem il-Parlament Ewropew dwar kif il-politika tat-turiżmu għandha tiġi riformata sabiex tkun aktar sostenibbli, inkluż kif tista’ tindirizza l-isfidi strutturali li qed jiffaċċjaw diversi reġjuni. Din il-ħatra saret f’mument deċiżiv, hekk kif il-Kummissjoni Ewropea qed tfassal l-istrateġija tagħha fuq sfond ta’ sfidi…
