"Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators took to the streets of Milan on Saturday in solidarity with the people of Gaza. The march, organised by API (Palestinian Association of Italy), started at Porta Venezia and ended at Piazza Scala, where demonstrators temporarily renamed the square Piazza Gaza. For the past two weeks, it has been occupied by tents and a permanent protest camp. Footage features activists carrying Palestinian flags, banners, and placards reading messages such as 'The new Hitler and his accomplice', referencing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Speaking at the event, Elio Lupoli, a leading activist, criticised the ceasefire deal, calling it a 'tombstone peace on the Palestinian people'. "It was conceived, constructed, and verified because a so-called peace plan has to be made even with the Palestinian people. And no one has called any of them to the table officially," he claimed. Commenting on ongoing humanitarian concerns, Lupoli said that "the fact that they were asking for 400 trucks a day at the beginning means, once again, in the general silence, that they are using hunger - they are centring humanitarian aid in order to be able to kill people." Police officers were seen monitoring the event along the route to ensure that the march proceeded smoothly without any incidents. The Gaza ceasefire went into effect on Friday as Israeli forces started withdrawing from parts of Gaza. On September 29, US President Donald Trump unveiled his 20-point Gaza plan alongside Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The plan itself would see an immediate end to fighting, with the release of all hostages alive or dead within 72 hours, as well as 250 Palestinians serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans who were detained after October 7.  Hamas conditionally accepted the US-brokered plan, offering to release Israeli captives through Qatari and Egyptian mediators if Israel agrees to a lasting peace and full withdrawal. Trump welcomed the response, describing it as a 'very special' moment and 'unprecedented in many ways'. "
