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".
