🇮🇱🤝🇮🇹 A Journalist Asked Why Israel Isn’t Paying to Rebuild Gaza. It Cost Him His Job.

An Italian journalist who asked a European Commission official why Israel shouldn’t pay for the reconstruction of Gaza was let go by his news agency.

Gabriele Nunziati, a Brussels-based reporter who covered the EU for Rome’s Nova news agency, told The Intercept he received a notice that he would lose his job barely a month after he became a correspondent.

The move, which was first reported by the Italian news website Fanpage, came after he asked Paula Pinho, the European Commission’s chief spokesperson, about Gaza’s reconstruction on October 13.

“You’ve been repeating several times that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine,” Nunziati, who is a contractor with Nova, said at a press conference. “Do you believe that Israel should pay for the reconstruction of Gaza since they have destroyed almost all its civilian infrastructure?”

Pinho replied that it was “definitely an interesting question, on which I would not have any comment.”
