Italy’s lower house of Parliament has passed a controversial opposition motion recognizing the Palestine Liberation Organization as “the only legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.” The motion, proposed by the extreme leftist Proletarian Democracy Party, passed with a majority of 13 votes in the Chamber of Deputies while many deputies of the five government parties were attending a presidential reception. The motion is expected to be overturned by the Italian Senate.
