Italian Lawmakers Protest Gaza Blockade at Rafah Crossing; 100,000 Dutch Protesters Take to Streets

HeadlineMay 19, 2025

On Sunday, a group of Italian lawmakers took part in a protest on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border with Gaza. This is Laura Boldrini, the former speaker in the Italian Parliament’s lower chamber.

Laura Boldrini: “We are here to break the silence on what’s happening in Gaza: the extermination of the Palestinian people. We cannot accept what’s happening there.”

Major Palestinian solidarity protests were held this weekend in London and The Hague, where as many as 100,000 protesters, many wearing the color red, called on the Dutch government to draw a red line and stop supporting Israel.
