Thousands of workers and students across Italy have joined a general strike and demonstrations in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Italy’s grassroots unions called for the 24-hour strike on Monday, affecting both public and private sectors, including transportation, schools and ports. The strike caused disruptions nationwide, with delays for trains and limited public transport in cities like Rome and Milan. More than 20,000 people gathered in front of Rome’s central station to protest the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Tensions erupted in Milan and Bologna between protesters and police.
