Port workers in 17 countries are scheduled to hold large-scale strikes and protests against Israel on Friday, October 30th. Approximately 100 maritime ports worldwide are expected to participate in the actions, organized by the Ports in Action coalition and the No Harbour For Genocide campaign. The protests will operate under the slogan "Port workers do not work for war." Significant disruptions to transport infrastructure are anticipated in Italy, Greece, and France. Italy has announced a 24-hour strike affecting the ports of Genoa, Livorno, Gioia Tauro, and Trieste. In Greece, a strike is planned for the port of Piraeus, with similar actions in Thessaloniki and other cities. France may experience substantial disruptions at the ports of Marseille and Le Havre. According to the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, these protests could severely impact supply chains and cargo shipments to Israel, including transit routes across the Mediterranean. The primary demand from the organizers is the cessation of arms and military equipment supplies to Israel. A similar large-scale protest in February 2026 involved around 20 ports in six countries, but the upcoming event is set to encompass a considerably larger number of logistical hubs.
