In the Italian port of Livorno, a ship under the Israeli flag was blocked in protest

In the port city of Livorno, Italy, port workers refused to service the ship "Zim Virginia," which was heading to Israel, in protest against the actions of the Israeli authorities towards Palestine.

The ship, owned by an Israeli company, was blocked after the dock workers made a collective decision not to service it. The protest expressed support for the Palestinian people and garnered support among some local residents.

In recent years, Livorno, known as one of the oldest Italian cities with rich labor traditions, has repeatedly become a venue for social and political actions. Although the city is better known for its sports traditions and the football club founded in 1915[1][2][3], the events in the port have attracted attention not only from Italy but also from international media.

The incident in Livorno is one of several similar cases in European ports where workers consciously refuse to participate in operations related to Israel amid ongoing protests against the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The city authorities are currently analyzing the situation, and the fate of the ship and the further actions of the unions remain in question.
