Pro-Palestinian strikes, blockades across Italy
Across Italy, pro-Palestinian demonstrations, strikes, and blockades erupted in response to union calls denouncing the "genocide in Gaza" and demanding sanctions against Israel. These mobilisations coincided with growing international recognition of a Palestinian state, contrasting with Italy's cautious stance under Giorgia Meloni's government, which remains reluctant to recognise Palestine or impose trade sanctions on Israel amid the intensified Israeli military operation in Gaza.
