Port workers in 17 countries are scheduled to participate in large-scale strikes and protests against Israel on Friday, October 30. Approximately 100 maritime ports worldwide are expected to be affected. The actions are being organized by the Ports in Action coalition of port unions and activists from the No Harbour For Genocide campaign, under the slogan "Port workers do not work for war." The Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism reported on the planned demonstrations.
Significant disruptions are anticipated in Italy, Greece, and France. In Italy, a 24-hour strike will impact ports in Genoa, Livorno, Gioia Tauro, and Trieste. Greece will see a strike at the Port of Piraeus, with similar actions planned in Thessaloniki and other cities. France may experience substantial disruptions at the ports of Marseille and Le Havre.
According to the Israeli ministry's assessment, these protests could severely disrupt supply chains and the transport of goods to Israel, including transit routes across the Mediterranean. The primary demand of the organizers is to cease the supply of weapons and military equipment to Israel. A similar large-scale protest in February 2026 affected about 20 ports in six countries, but the upcoming event is set to involve a considerably larger number of logistical hubs.
