Italian media on October 3 primarily focused on a nationwide general strike supporting Gaza and the Flotilla, causing widespread disruptions in over 100 cities with blocked ports and delayed trains. Early reports highlighted clashes and political confrontation between unions and the government. In the late morning, the release of four Italian parliamentarians from the Flotilla also became a prominent story, with reports confirming their well-being and return to Italy. By the afternoon, media highlighted the ongoing protests, some with clashes and high participation. Later in the evening, the focus shifted to Hamas's conditional acceptance of President Trump's peace plan for Gaza, offering to release hostages in exchange for further negotiations, alongside Trump's ultimatum for an agreement by Sunday.
