On Sunday, thousands of people took part in a march for Middle East peace from Perugia to Assisi, two "city of peace" in Italian Umbria Region.

The march was led by Israel and Palestinian pacifists under the banner of Two States for Two Peoples.

Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi on Sunday said in a message to the special peace march that "Our most immediately hope is for an end to the terrorist attacks in Israel and the military action in the Palestinian territories in order to allow for an international initiative to replace the logic of senseless violence with the logic of negotiations for a just peace."

Numerous politicians and union representatives including Palestinian representative to Rome Nemer Hammad took also part in this march. Italian House Speaker Pier Ferdinando Casini also sent a message to the peace march.
