Rome Clashes Over Gaza: Arrests, Vandalism as Peace Talks Loom
Clashes in Rome over Gaza have led to arrests and vandalism, while peace talks are set to begin in Egypt. Hamas accuses Israel of false claims, and Trump pressures the group for a ceasefire.
A protest in Rome for Gaza and Palestine turned violent, with 262 people identified and 11 detained. Forty-one officers were injured, and a statue of Pope Wojtyla was defaced. Another 15 Italians remain detained for refusing to sign a voluntary release form. Released activists reported mistreatment, including forced flag-kissing ceremonies.
Several Italian activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla are still detained in Israel. Eighteen were released and arrived at Fiumicino Airport, greeted by hundreds. The Italian Foreign Ministry works to improve their conditions and expedite their return.
Hamas accuses Israel of lying about reduced military operations, with 70 people killed yesterday. Trump has intensified pressure on Hamas, stating that a ceasefire will come into effect immediately if Hamas confirms. Netanyahu hopes all hostages will return home in the next few days, with the IDF remaining in the Strip.
Peace talks for Gaza will begin on Monday in Egypt, with U.S. envoys participating. The situation remains tense, with both sides expressing hope for a resolution and an end to the conflict.
