Italian Jews Launch Appeal Against ‘Gaza Ethnic Cleansing’

Rome: Over 200 Italian Jews have launched an appeal published on Wednesday by Rome daily La Repubblica against an “ethnic cleansing” plan in Gaza, referring to President Donald Trump’s proposal for a US takeover of the area, including a permanent displacement of Palestinians.

According to Ansa News Agency, the appeal stated, “Italian Jews say no to ethnic cleansing, Italy must not be an accomplice”, and was signed by over 200 individuals. The signatories expressed strong opposition to the violence practiced “by the Israeli government and settlers” in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank.

The initiative is promoted by the “Jewish Anti-racist Laboratory and Never Indifferent” and by “Jewish Voices for Peace”, two associations that campaign “for fair peace in the Middle East”. These groups have been actively advocating for solutions that respect the rights and dignity of all people in the region.
