Dockworkers at the Italian port of Genoa refused to load weapons onto a Saudi vessel destined for the Israeli-occupied territories, defying Italy’s complicity in Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza. Workers in the Italian port of Genoa have blocked passage of a Saudi vessel carrying weapons shipments for Israel. The Bahri Yanbu, operated by Saudi shipping firm Bahri, which arrived from Baltimore, Maryland, was slated to take on military hardware made by Italian arms giant Leonardo, along with tanks or other heavy weaponry reportedly already positioned in the terminal yard. Routine inspections revealed that the ship was carrying weapons and ammunition for Israel after 40 dock workers boarded the vessel.
