Overview

• The city council voted to project “All Eyes on Gaza” on Palazzo Marino to spotlight Palestinian civilian suffering and Israeli hostages.
• Two centrist councillors withheld their votes, arguing that the motion did not equally acknowledge Israeli victims alongside Gaza civilians.
• Milan’s Jewish Community has renewed calls for an orange drape commemorating kidnapped and killed Israeli children after Sala rejected a similar plea in February.
• Sala’s endorsement of the "50,000 shrouds for Gaza" campaign has deepened tensions with pro-Israel groups, who accuse it of using false casualty data and ignoring Hamas-inflicted deaths.
• The mayor has publicly criticized both Hamas and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s military actions and called for humanitarian corridors, a balanced stance that has drawn fierce critique from local Jewish leaders.
