“Clashes broke out on Monday after thousands of Italians took to the streets in towns and cities across their country in a day of solidarity with Palestinians co-ordinated by trade unions. Milan and Rome saw the biggest crowds and tensions spilled over around the central station in Milan where some 60 police were reported hurt. Italy’s prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, who has come under fire from political opponents for her position on Gaza, condemned the scenes in Milan as shameful.
