In response to demands from trade unions to “denounce the genocide in Gaza” and impose diplomatic and economic sanctions against Israel, cities all over Italy have organized pro-Palestinian protests, strikes, and blockades.
Following the recognition by the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada on Sunday, France’s intention on Monday coincided with that of several other nations at the UN General Assembly in New York.
Italy, however, has taken a more cautious stance and won’t initially recognize a Palestinian state.
In Rome, hundreds of secondary school students gathered outside the Termini Railway Station to chant “Free Palestine” and wave Palestinian flags.
In addition, protests took place in Milan and Turin, Florence’s central city, and Naples, Bari, and Palermo, both of which are in the north.
According to Italian news reports, port workers in Genoa and Livorno, in the center-north, obliterated the ports.
Although Giorgia Meloni has repeatedly expressed her “concern” over the Israeli offensive, her ultra-conservative government is ideologically close to American President Donald Trump and has a cautious approach to the conflict in Gaza.
