"Cities across Italy have held pro-Palestinian protests, strikes, and blockades in response to calls from trade unions to denounce the genocide in Gaza and demand diplomatic and economic sanctions against Israel. The mobilisation on Monday coincided with France's intention, alongside several other countries, to recognise the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, following recognition by the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada on Sunday."
"In Rome, hundreds of secondary school pupils gathered outside Termini railway station, waving Palestinian flags and chanting, Free Palestine! Protests also took place in the northern cities of Milan and Turin, the central city of Florence, and the southern cities of Naples, Bari, and Palermo. Dock workers in Genoa and Livorno, in the centre-north, blocked the ports, according to Italian news agencies."
Widespread pro-Palestinian protests, strikes and port blockades took place across multiple Italian cities following trade union calls to denounce the genocide in Gaza and demand diplomatic and economic sanctions on Israel. The demonstrations coincided with several countries moving to recognise the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly, after recognitions by the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. Hundreds of students rallied in Rome and protests occurred in Milan, Turin, Florence, Naples, Bari, and Palermo. Dock workers in Genoa and Livorno blocked ports. The Italian government, led by Giorgia Meloni, has taken a cautious stance and will not recognise a Palestinian state for the moment.
