Italian unions have called for a general strike<\/a><\/span> on Friday, October 3, following an Israeli attack on the Sumud international aid flotilla bound for Gaza.<\/p>\n

Protests began late Wednesday in several cities after news that the aid ships were stopped by Israeli military personnel.<\/p>\n

In the southern city of Naples, demonstrators entered the main train station, halting train traffic, while in Rome, police cordoned off the Termini train station after protesters gathered near the entrances.<\/p>\n

An Italian group is part of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which consists of more than 40 civilian vessels carrying approximately 500 parliamentarians, lawyers, and activists.<\/p>\n

The CGIL union called for the strike, stating, “The attack on civilian ships carrying Italian citizens is an extremely serious matter,” and other smaller unions announced they would join.<\/p>\n

This announcement follows a general strike held on September 22 by the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) in support of Gaza and the GSF.<\/p>\n

In the northwestern city of Genoa, the USB announced plans to shut down the port, calling on all protesters to gather at one of the main entrances at 10:00 PM.<\/p>\n

Over the past two weeks, protesting Italian dockworkers have prevented several ships from docking and loading, targeting vessels alleged to be trading with Israel.<\/p>\n

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani had previously stated that his Israeli counterpart assured him that the Israeli armed forces would not use violence against the activists on the flotilla.<\/p>\n
