Rome – The Italian capital, Rome, witnessed a massive march to denounce Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories and demand an end to the “genocide” it is committing in Gaza.
Yesterday, Saturday, thousands of people gathered in Piazza Repubblica, one of the busiest squares in Rome, on the occasion of the 48th anniversary of Palestinian Land Day, March 30.
The march participants expressed their denunciation of the Israeli attacks on Gaza, sending messages expressing their support and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
They also chanted slogans such as “Free Palestine,” “Freedom for Gaza,” “Criminal Israel,” and “We are all Palestinians,” raising banners demanding an end to the “genocide.”
Some demonstrators carried models wrapped in white cloth depicting young children killed as a result of the Israeli attacks on Gaza.
Saturday marks the anniversary of Land Day, which dates back to 1976, when the Israeli authorities confiscated vast areas of the lands of its Arab population.
Palestinians everywhere commemorate Land Day, on March 30 of each year, by launching several activities.
The anniversary this year comes amid the escalation of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip since last October 7, and the escalation of the settlement attack in the West Bank.
Israel is waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving tens of thousands of victims, most of them children and women, a humanitarian catastrophe and massive destruction of infrastructure and property, which led to Israel being brought before the International Court of Justice on charges of committing “genocide.”
Land Day gained great importance for Palestinians, as it was the first clash that occurred between the Palestinian masses inside Israel and the occupation authorities, according to observers.
