Italy’s Top Jewish, Muslim and Catholic Leaders Call National Meeting for Unified Peace Appeal

The signed communiqué urges an immediate, non‑confessional gathering to counter polarizing propaganda through dialogue rooted in mutual recognition.

Overview

  • The appeal is jointly signed by Noemi Di Segni (Ucei), Yassine Lafram (Ucoii), Abu Bakr Moretta (Coreis), Naim Nasrollah (Moschea di Roma), Imam Yahya Pallavicini and Cardinal Matteo Maria Zuppi (CEI).
  • The signatories call for bishops, rabbis and imams from across Italy to meet right away in a simple, direct, nationwide encounter to project a shared message of peace.
  • The text denounces propaganda that exploits emotion and erodes discernment, warning it fuels antisemitism, islamophobia and hostility toward Christianity.
  • The communiqué states that justice for Palestinians and security for Israelis require reciprocal recognition, respect for fundamental rights and a willingness to talk.
  • The leaders avoid naming political actors to preserve a unifying moral stance, build on recent local interfaith meetings and address institutions and believers across Italy.
