Italian Students Protest in Rome, Burn Israeli and US Flags Over Education Funding and Israel Boycott

Italian students held a 'Day Without Schools' protest in Rome, burning Israeli and American flags and demanding increased education funding over military spending, alongside calls to boycott Israel. The protest included a march to the Ministry of Education and a strike threat, drawing a sharp response from the minister who labeled participants 'hooligans.' This reflects growing domestic political tension in Italy over education funding and foreign policy, though it remains a localized protest with no immediate policy impact.
