Italy is paralyzed by a general strike, with tens of thousands of protesters demanding the cessation of cooperation with Israel and support for Gaza.

On Monday, Italy was affected by a general strike that mobilized tens of thousands of people in major cities, protesting against the situation in Gaza. Transportation was severely affected, with over 70% of employees participating in the strike. Demonstrators called on the Italian government to suspend collaborations with Israel and to support humanitarian aid deliveries. The protests included blocking the central train station in Naples and the port of Livorno, and in some schools, students showed solidarity by blocking entrances. Local authorities anticipate the continuation of the demonstrations.
