ROME (AP) — More than 2 million people across Italy rallied in over 100 cities Friday for a one-day general strike to support the residents of Gaza and a humanitarian aid mission, Italy’s largest union said. Italian unions proclaimed the strike after the Global Sumud Flotilla that was trying to break Israel’s naval blockade to deliver aid to Gaza was intercepted by Israeli naval forces Wednesday night. Protests and demonstrations have sprung up all over Europe and globally since then, but they have been particularly strong in Italy. She anticipated it would cause widespread disruption across the country and said it was politically motivated and targeted her right-wing government. On the other hand, I understand that it will cause a lot of problems for the Italian people," Meloni told reporters Thursday, condemning the strike.
