ROME LIVE: Thousands of Italians Protest in Solidarity With Gaza After Global Flotilla Interception | CNBC TV18 ROME - Thousands of Italians join a strike to stand in solidarity with Gaza after Sumud flotilla interception. Protesters march in Rome in support of Palestinians in Gaza, during a 24hr nationwide general strike in the public and private sector for the same reason. Italian unions called a general strike for Friday in solidarity with the international aid flotilla for Gaza, while protests sprang up in a number of cities late on Wednesday after reports that the ships had been intercepted by military personnel. In the southern city of Naples, demonstrators got into the main railway station and halted train traffic, while police surrounded the Termini railway station in Rome after protesters gathered close to entrances. The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which consists of more than 40 civilian boats carrying about 500 parliamentarians, lawyers and activists, includes an Italian contingent. It has been trying to break Israel's blockade of Gaza with medicine and food, despite repeated warnings from Israel to turn back. "The aggression against civilian ships that were carrying Italian citizens is an extremely serious matter," the CGIL union said, calling the strike which other smaller unions said they would join. The announcement comes after a previous general strike in support of Gaza and the GSF called by the grassroots Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) on September 22 which turned violent in Milan. #italians #globalsumudflotilla #propalestineprotest #rome #gaza #israelimilitary #cnbctv18
