Mass protests erupted across Italy after Israel intercepted the Global Sumud aid flotilla en route to Gaza. Tens of thousands rallied in Rome, Milan, Genoa, Naples, Turin, and Pisa, with demonstrators chanting slogans, blocking trains, and demanding Prime Minister Meloni’s resignation. Italy’s largest unions, CGIL and USB, called a general strike and planned port blockades in solidarity. Authorities faced significant disruptions as dockworkers halted Israeli-linked shipments. Deputy PM Salvini criticized unions for creating chaos, while Meloni urged restraint and proposed aid via the Latin Patriarchate.
