Italian unions 'will block everything' in response to Israeli flotilla interception

Two major Italian unions, CGIL and USB, have declared a nationwide strike after the Israeli navy intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla heading towards Gaza. The unions are calling to "block everything" in response to the interception, which resulted in the detention of 40 Italian nationals, including politicians. Italy's prime minister stated the government would work to ensure their return, while questioning the benefit of the flotilla's actions. The strike announcement has already sparked protests across Italian cities like Naples and Rome, with demonstrators blocking train tracks and clashing with police.
