About 4,000 demonstrators marched through central Rome on Saturday, calling for an end to “genocide” against Palestinians.
The crowd protested Israel’s actions in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and Lebanon.
The protest saw participants carrying Palestinian flags and banners reading “Stop the genocide,” while chanting slogans such as “Free Palestine” and “Murderer Netanyahu.”
Demonstrators also criticized Italy’s government led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, accusing Rome of complicity in Israel’s actions.
“It’s been nearly a year of this genocide, and now it seems they want to destroy not just Gaza, but the entire West Bank, all of Palestine, and even Lebanon,” said Michela, who was attenting the demonstration according to Anadolu, the Turkish news agency.
Another participant, Sara, emphasized the need to continue protesting, vowing to do so as long as necessary as she asserted that a “free Palestine is a right.”

The Health Ministry in the embattled Gaza Strip released, Monday, the names of 34,344 Palestinians killed by the Israeli army in the course of its deadly onslaught against Gaza Strip, now approaching its grim first anniversary.
The updated published list include the names of 11,983 minors under the age of 18 killed by the Israeli army.
Infants
The list also includes the names of 710 infants under one year old killed in Gaza by the Israeli military since 7 October, 2023, plus the names of 2,734 Palestinians over the age of 60 also killed by the mass Israeli attack and bombardment.
Despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip following an attack by Palestinian group Hamas last Oct. 7.
More than 41,200 people, mostly women and children, have since been killed and over 95,400 injured, according as reported by the Gaza Health Ministry.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel also faces accusations of genocide for its actions in Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
