In Italy, which saw a general strike in support of the flotilla last month, thousands turned out in cities across the country to back the Global Sumud Flotilla, which consists of more than 40 civilian boats carrying about 500 parliamentarians, lawyers and activists including Greta Thunberg.

Protests were also reported in Brussel, Athens, Buenos Aires and Berlin, while the Spanish government called on Israel to protect the safety and rights of activists.

In Rome, hundreds chanting “let’s block everything” gathered in front of the city’s Termini station, prompting authorities to limit access and close some metro stops. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched in Milan, Turin and Genoa, while protesters in Naples and Pisa briefly occupied station platforms and blocked trains. Thousands also gathered in Bologna carrying banners and flags.
