The rapper denounced the issue in a recent interview with Middle East Eye

ROME – Radio Italia denies the words said by Ghali in an interview given to Middle East Eye. After participating in the Radio Italia Live event in Milan, in which he asked for a minute of silence to Gaza, the rapper will not take part in the one in Naples, scheduled for June 27th. His pro-Palestine position and call for a ceasefire in Gaza would not have been welcomed. Thus the expulsion.
