A prominent member of the Milan
Jewish community on Monday said he was leaving the centre-left
opposition Democratic Party (PD) over the use by some PD fringe
groups of the term "genocide" to describe the Israeli campaign
against Hamas in Gaza.
PD municipal councillor Daniele Nahum announced during the
municipal council meeting that he will leave the party "in
protest at the choice of some fringes of the PD to use the word
genocide to describe what is happening in Gaza.
"I announce today in this chamber that my experience within the
PD has ended," he said.
"I declare this without resentment also with gratitude towards
this political community that has accompanied my life for ten
years. Various ambiguities on foreign policy and the climate
produced in various left-wing circles after (the Hamas attack
on) 7 October have weighed heavily".
