On September 22, Italy witnessed one of the largest mobilizations in its recent history. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in nearly 80 cities to demand a ceasefire in Gaza and to denounce Italy’s political, military, and economic collaboration with Israel. The day coincided with a 24-hour general strike called by the base union USB together with Cub, Adl, and Sgb.

The strike extended across both the public and private sectors, with major disruptions in transport and port activity. Demonstrators demanded a ceasefire in Gaza, an end to Italy’s collaboration with Israel, and a halt to the rearmament that is reshaping Europe’s political agenda.
