Large Crowds Gather in Rome for Fourth Consecutive Day of Protests
A significant crowd gathered on Saturday in the center of Rome, marking the fourth consecutive day of protests in Italy against the interception by the Israeli entity of an international flotilla attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and the arrest of activists on board.
Protest Details
- Protesters, waving signs and Palestinian flags, chanted slogans such as "Free Palestine."
- Organizers hoped that the march would attract at least one million people.
International Support
- In Paris, a similar protest gathered several thousand people, according to a Reuters witness.
