Breaking: Spain joins Italy in sending warship to support Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has announced that a Spanish warship will set sail tomorrow to accompany the Global Sumud Flotilla of volunteer-crewed humanitarian vessels as they sail to Gaza to try to break Israel’s illegal starvation blockade:
The Spanish government demands full respect for international law and for the right of our citizens to navigate the Mediterranean in safety. That is why a naval vessel will depart Cartagena tomorrow, equipped with all necessary means, to assist the Gaza flotilla.
Spain to protect the flotilla
Spain joins Italy in sending a naval vessel to the flotilla’s aid after it was again repeatedly bombed by Israeli drones in international waters off the coast of Greece. Turkiye, and Egypt have reportedly also pledged military vessels in support.
Israel has attempted to smear the flotilla as ‘organised by Hamas’ to justify its attacks. Spain’s move ought to be the start of a flood of warships heading to Gaza to break the siege and end Israel’s genocide, which has already taken the lives of almost 700,000 Palestinians, but with the UK, Germany and other European nations refusing their obligations under international law, it is not likely to happen soon, particularly with the Trump regime threatening anyone who tries to intervene in the genocide in accordance with recognised international law and treaties.

Thank you Italy and thank you Spain.
This international solidarity with the Palestinian People is desperately needed.
In the UK, my comrades and I joined 1000 demonstrators carrying a 500metre-long red ribbon thru the centre of Leeds last Saturday.
This is the “RED LINE FOR PALESTINE”.
Israel is the pariah state.
Israel’s barbarity will never be forgotten and can never be forgiven.
Today, I am extra proud of been a Spaniard.
Next step to implement full BDS and to stop the recognition of Israel. Right now more national states recognise Palestine as a State that those that recognise Israel.
Today, if not for the unconditional support of the US, Israel fascist, terrorist, terrorist State will fall, like Rhodesia felt. Nevertheless, it is hope among US Ivy League universities the majority of Students support the Palestinian cause, many of them young Jewish students standing for a free Palestine.
Right now these students have very limited power on account of their young age. However, they are the future US´s elites on account of their education.
Israel is on borrowing time and it knows it. At some point the ICJ will pronounce judgement and declare Israel guilty of genocide, ethnic cleansing and war crimes. Thus, the present government is in a hurry to implement facts on the ground by ethnic cleansing Gaza and annexing the West Bank to Israel.
Bravo Italy and Spain, and FUCK the UK and Germany, the first led by the worst UK PM ever and the second by the worst German chancellor since Hitler.
