Mistake not to vote for Gaza truce says PD's Schlein

(see related stories on UN resolution vote) (ANSA) - ROME, OCT 28 - Democratic Party (PD) leader Elly Schlein on Saturday criticized the government's decision to have Italy abstain in a vote at the UN General Assembly on a resolution calling for a truce in Gaza.
    I think it was a mistake for Italy not to support the UN resolution on a humanitarian truce," said the leader of the opposition, centre-left group.
    "France, Spain and Portugal were right to vote in favour.
    "Call it a truce, call it a humanitarian ceasefire, call it a humanitarian pause, just stop this slaughter of civilians.
    "Our concern is enormous. We cannot (just) watch civilians be massacred". (ANSA).
