Overview
- Emanuele Fiano returned to Venice’s Ca’ Foscari University to complete a discussion halted on October 27, speaking alongside Minister Anna Maria Bernini and the university’s rector.
- Outside the venue, student groups protested behind police cordons as officers secured the area around the main building and nearby Campo Santa Margherita.
- Fiano argued that describing Israel’s Gaza operations as genocide should depend on a judicial finding, noting the International Criminal Court’s ongoing probe without a genocide judgment.
- He reiterated support for a two‑state solution, affirmed Israel’s right to exist, backed a Palestinian state, and said Hamas must be disarmed as a condition for peace.
- Bernini condemned threats and a prior P38 gesture directed at Fiano, stressing that universities are not exempt from the law and that speech must be protected without intimidation.
