Rome - Saba:
A number of Italian party leaders announced on Thursday the organization of a mass national demonstration in the capital, Rome, on June 7, in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in rejection of the aggression on Gaza.
According to the Italian news agency ANSA, the demonstration was announced as a joint initiative by the leader of the Five Star Movement, Giuseppe Conte; the leader of the Democratic Party, Elie Schlein; the leader of the Left Party, Nicola Fratoianni; and the leader of the Green Party, Angelo Bonelli.
The party leaders emphasized that the demonstration aims to stop the massacres in Gaza and to reject the "crimes of the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," who is wanted by the International Criminal Court. They called on "everyone who feels intolerant of what is happening" to participate in the popular movement.
The leaders indicated that the demonstration is based on a clear political program, included in a joint parliamentary proposal recently submitted to the Italian Parliament.
