Members of the Italian Parliament, EU representatives, activists, and journalists protested at Egypt’s Rafah border on May 18, condemning the war and Israel’s blockade of aid to Gaza. Holding a banner demanding an end to complicity, they called on Italian and European leaders to pressure Israel to allow humanitarian aid into the besieged territory. The group, including former Italian Lower House speaker Laura Boldrini, warned that silence equals complicity and expressed readiness to escort aid into Gaza. Meanwhile, Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani urged Israel to halt its military offensive to spare Palestinian civilians from further suffering.
