The "anti-Israel" closure of around twenty national pavilions, between the Giardini and the Arsenale, at the Venice Biennale. The list so far includes: Austria, Belgium, Egypt, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Finland, the Netherlands, Ireland, Qatar, Malta, Cyprus, Ecuador, the United Kingdom, and the Applied Arts Pavilion, but the list is being updated.

The Global Project Telegram channel announced: "Dozens of pavilions and exhibitions at the Venice Biennale remain closed due to a strike by cultural workers protesting the presence of the Israeli Pavilion and the ongoing genocide in Palestine."

The "unprecedented" mobilization is being promoted, among others, by the collective Anga - Art Not Genocide Alliance. "This afternoon, a march is planned from Via Garibaldi to the Israeli pavilion at the Arsenale, against genocide and the militarization of the economy, for workers' rights, and in solidarity with Global Sumud Flotilla activists Thiago and Saif, currently detained in Israel," the Global Project Telegram channel also notes.
