Italians take to the streets to protest Global Sumud Flotilla interception

Italy will strike once again for Palestine, this time in response to the illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla by Israeli forces last night. The flotilla, which was nearing the shores of Gaza, carried with it 57 Italian nationals. In response to the interception and abduction of activists, protests erupted across cities including Rome, Naples, Milan, Turin, Bologna and Genoa. Two of Italy’s largest trade unions confirmed that they would be holding a nationwide rail strike on Friday, insisting that is was serious how “the Italian government has abandoned Italian workers in open international waters, violating our constitutional principles”. However, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni spoke to reporters today to express her belief that “that all of this brings no benefit to the people of Palestine”, and that a strike would simply inconvenience the Italian people. She went on to stress how Italy was “the non-Islamic nation that has evacuated the most people from home to be treated in our hospitals, and we are one of the leading nations in the world in delivering aid”.
