Pro-Palestine Protest Halts Milan Council as Push to Freeze Tel Aviv Ties Grows

Center-left councillors report a signature drive for an order of the day to suspend Milan’s ties with Tel Aviv.

Overview

  • About fifteen activists disrupted the Milan City Council session with chants and Palestinian flags, demanding the city interrupt relations with Tel Aviv.
  • The session was suspended for roughly twenty minutes before municipal police removed the demonstrators from the public gallery.
  • Protesters continued their demonstration outside Palazzo Marino after being escorted out of the chamber.
  • PD and Europa Verde councillors, including Michele Albiani and Francesca Cucchi, told protesters they are collecting signatures for a motion that will go to the council soon.
  • Majority councillor Gianmaria Radice condemned the disruption as anti-democratic, and some participants were identified as linked to Potere al Popolo.
