Italy bans the entry of cargo ships carrying military goods bound for Israel, following protests by port workers against the war in Gaza.
The Italian port of Ravenna refused on Thursday to load two containers filled with explosives for shipment to Israel, following a request from local authorities, according to a statement issued by the city's municipality.
Israeli Channel 12 reported that the measure is part of a growing wave of opposition within Italy, where strikes and demonstrations are planned for the weekend.
The protests include plans to block ships from entering the ports of Genoa and Livorno, following dock workers' protests against the war in the Gaza Strip.
Dock workers in other European countries, such as France, Sweden, and Greece, took similar measures to prevent the arrival of arms shipments to Israel as an act of support for the Palestinian population in the face of the Zionist regime's crimes.
Earlier, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani stated that his country is willing to consider imposing trade sanctions against the Israeli regime by the European Union (EU), stressing that the measure guarantees the protection of human rights.
Recently, pressure and boycotts against the Israeli occupation have been increasing in various parts of the world.
In a recent report, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry stated that the Israeli regime committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Human rights and artistic organizations are calling for their cultural, political, and economic isolation in protest of the ongoing war of extermination in the Gaza Strip.
According to Palestinian authorities, Israel has killed an estimated 65,174 Palestinians and injured another 166,071 since the start of Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza on October 7, 2023.
