Over 75 Italian cities were brought to a standstill by a massive pro-Palestine general strike. The 24-hour mobilization, led by grassroots unions, saw transport, education, and logistics sectors paralyzed. Protesters demanded the recognition of a Palestinian state, a full arms embargo on Israel, sanctions on the Netanyahu government, and an end to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In a dramatic show of solidarity, port workers blocked weapons shipments, while in Milan, clashes broke out between protesters and police.

🇮🇹 BREAKING: Italy Sees Massive General Strike in Solidarity With Gaza

Italy is seeing a powerful 24-hour general strike today, Sept. 22, as millions of workers across transport, education, logistics, and other sectors are expected to join protests for Gaza. The strike has been announced by the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) with USB, CUB, ADL, and SGB unions also participating, and demanding an end to Italian arms sales to Israel, sanctions, and a new foreign policy approach that prioritizes stopping the genocide.

➤ Trains, buses, taxis, ports, and schools are shut down across the country – with only air travel mostly running as normal.

➤ Unions are linking Gaza solidarity to broader social justice and labor demands, calling for housing investment, welfare expansion, and better workplace safety.

➤ Rallies and blockades are underway in ports of Genoa and Salerno, and also Rome, Milan, and other cities, demonstrating broad popular support for ending the genocide and backing Palestinian rights.
