Thousands of demonstrators march through Rome to call for an immediate end to the war in Gaza

On June 7, 2025, a large crowd took to the streets of Rome to protest the war in Gaza during a rally organized by Italy's principal opposition parties.
The protest followed a nearly three-month Israeli blockade of Gaza and recent calls by the Italian premier for Israel to halt its military campaign amid growing international criticism.
The rally, organized by the leftist opposition, aimed to denounce the government's silence and demand a clear stance on the conflict and humanitarian crisis affecting Gaza's two million residents.
Elly Schlein, leader of Italy’s center-left Democratic Party, characterized the demonstration as a powerful expression of public opposition to the killing of Palestinians and the actions of Netanyahu’s administration, with organizers reporting a turnout of up to 300,000 people.
The demonstration highlighted calls for peace, the release of hostages, humanitarian aid, and recognition of the Palestinian state, contrasting with Prime Minister Meloni's government which opposition criticized for remaining silent.
