The government of Italy's southern Puglia region has cut relations with Israel over its genocide in Gaza, according to Al-Jazeera.
Puglia Governor Michele Emiliano stated that the Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Therefore, Emiliano called for an immediate suspension of all relations with all representatives of Israeli government.
Emiliano also urged 'all managers and employees of the region, its agencies and participating companies to sever all relations of any kind with the institutional representatives of the Israeli government and with all those subjects attributable to it who are not openly and declaredly motivated by the desire to organize initiatives to stop the massacre of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,' according to state-run ANSA news agency.

Furthermore, Barcelona's city council voted to cut twin-city ties with Israel and suspend its friendship agreement with Tel Aviv over Israel's genocide in Gaza.
'The suffering and death in Gaza over the past year and a half, and recent attacks by the Israeli government, make any relationship unviable,' said Mayor Jaume Collboni during Friday's council session.
The move seeks to cut all official relations with the Israeli government until they respect the international law and maintain fundamental rights of the Palestinian people.
The city will also suspend a 1998 friendship agreement with Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
Therefore, it urged the trade fair organizer Fira de Barcelona not to host any Israeli pavilions or companies which are part of the weapons trade or even profiting from the ongoing war in Gaza.
Since the beginning of Hamas-Israel War in Gaza in 2023, the Israeli strikes have killed more than 53,500 Palestinians and wounded more than 118,000, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
