Israel bans "Global Sumud Flotilla"/ Italy involved in protests

Last night, protests erupted in Milan, Rome, Turin and many other cities in Italy, following the announcement that the "Global Sumud Flotilla" was stopped by Israeli forces.

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which consists of more than 40 civilian ships carrying around 500 parliamentarians, lawyers and activists, also 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.

In the southern city of Naples, demonstrators entered the main railway station and stopped train traffic, while police surrounded Rome's Termini railway station after protesters gathered near the entrances.

" The aggression against civilian ships carrying Italian citizens is an extremely serious matter," said the CGIL union, which had organised the strike, which other smaller unions said they would join.

In the northwestern city of Genoa, the Union of Trade Unions announced its intention to block the port and called on all protesters to gather at 10:00 p.m. at one of the main entrances.

Over the past two weeks, protesting Italian port workers have prevented various ships from docking and loading, targeting vessels they say were involved in trade with Israel.

Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said earlier that his Israeli counterpart had assured him that Israeli armed forces would not use violence against activists aboard the Flotilla./ CNA
