- The protest followed months of conflict after Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and abducting 251 hostages, while Gaza faces a blockade and rising famine risks.

- Elly Schlein, leader of Italy's center-left Democratic Party, described the demonstration as a powerful public outcry opposing the killing of Palestinians and condemning the actions of Netanyahu's government.
- The demonstration highlighted growing public pressure for peace, humanitarian aid, and hostage release, reflecting deep divisions in Italy over the Gaza conflict and the government's role.
