(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 3 - A furore has erupted after a
convention on Israel scheduled to take place at Milan's Statale
University on May 7, seven months after Hamas's October 7
attacks, was scrapped in the form originally planned as police
said there was a danger of violent incidents.
"We couldn't do otherwise," Alessandro Litta Modignani of the
Pro Israele' association that organized the event with Savona's
Italia-Israele association told ANSA.
"The police told us that the event had been reclassified from
high risk to extremely high risk and said it was necessary to
close the university that afternoon for the students' safety as
members of (left-wing) social centres from all over northern
Italy were set to come". (ANSA).
