The shocking moments that lived in Israel where the war with Hamas described on Tuesday morning (21/11) o Member of Parliament of New Democracy, Tassos Hatzivasileiou. “Hearing the rockets going off in the air from the Iron Dome gives you a lot of anxiety,” he said.
Tasos Hatzivasiliou, who visited Israel as part of a delegation of parliamentarians from European countries to the war zone, spoke about what happened yesterday, Monday (21/11) returning from Rahat to Tel Aviv.
“We visited Kibbutz Beeri near Gauze and then the Bedouin town of Rahat and returning to Tel-Aviv, suddenly, about 15 kilometers before the city center, war sirens sounded and we were ordered by the police immediately to get out of the vehicles on the highway, jump the railing and lie down under the freeway, in the dirt, on the ground for ten minutes with our hands on our heads. It was a shocking experience, because sirens were heard,” said Tassos Hatzivasileiou, speaking on the ERT show “Connections”.
“It makes you very anxious to hear Hamas rockets blasting into the air from the Iron Dome. It is impressive that the Israelis accompanying us found it very normal. People got up straight away and got into the cars, while all the rest of us, MPs from Greece, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, didn’t realize what exactly was happeninghe added.
“On arrival they explain to you, before giving you your room key, where the shelter is in the building in case the sirens go off”
As stated by her MP New Republic arriving in Israel you are in awe because there are shelters everywhere, there are instructions everywhere in the buildings about the shelters, even in the hotel.
“On arrival they explain to you, before giving you your room key, where the shelter is in the building in case the rocket sirens go off Hamasit is a shocking reality, which people here experience every day in the harshest way,” he said.
“We insist on two things: That sustained humanitarian pauses are needed to support the people in Gaza who are in dire need. And of course Hamas needs to return the hostages. Without the release of the hostages I do not see much possibility for any de-escalation in the region. This is a condition in Europe for any agreement to be reached. And in any case, the terrorist attack by Hamas cannot go unanswered. We met people, even Arabs, Israeli citizens who lost their children, lost their wives or had their children kidnapped by Hamas. At the music festival on October 7, their stories are shocking. One cannot describe them if one does not see them up close,” he said in closing.
