Controversial member of the Italian parliament speaks of ‚Zionist influence in Italian media‘ | EJPress

36-year-old Manlio Di Stefano, who is the head of the Italian Five Star Movement’s Foreign Affairs Committee, has raised a lot of controversy for publishing a comment on his Facebook page against the Italian vote at UNESCO in favor of Israel. Last May, UNESCO passed a resolution (20 votes in favor, 10 abstentions and 23 abstentions) that questions Israel’s sovereignty over the entire city and not just on its eastern side. Italy has been among the few countries to vote against the resolution.
