The Flotilla has confirmed this morning that The Italian Navy has intercepted 19 of the 44 ships that made up the fleet..

A Spanish military vessel will set sail this Thursday from Cartagena "equipped with all the necessary resources in case it is necessary to assist the Flotilla and carry out any rescues." This was announced by Spanish President Pedro Sánchez at a press conference in New York, where he participated in the United Nations General Assembly. "Spain demands that the right of our citizens to navigate the Mediterranean in safe conditions be respected," he stressed, on the day the organization denounced a new attack against the humanitarian initiative. "This vessel aims to ensure that in the event of any difficulty, nationals and members of the flotilla can be rescued, and to protect them from a political and diplomatic point of view," said the head of the Spanish government.

The massacre and material destruction perpetrated by the Israeli army in Gaza are so enormous that they have changed the current perception of the State of Israel, created after the Holocaust, worldwide. It has gone from victim to executioner; it is committing suicide, as the suspicious gene Thomas Friedman wrote. If this is true even among those who continue to support the existence of the State of Israel and its right to defend itself, how will it be among those who for years have made the Palestinian headscarf the ultimate symbol of progressivism in their local political activity?

To the cry of "Free Palestine!", Barcelona painted the Muelle de la Madera black, white, green and red this Friday, at the start of a series of protests that will continue until Sunday the 31st. That day The Global Sumud Flotilla will set sail for Gaza with a dual mission: "To open a humanitarian corridor to deliver aid to the Palestinian civilian population and to alert the world to the need to get involved, denounce, and raise awareness about more than eight decades of genocide and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Israel against the Gazan people," the Brazilian activist stressed.

Watch out for the Global Sumud Flotilla to set sail from Barcelona to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The initiative, announced a couple of weeks ago by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, will have a dual mission: to open a corridor to deliver aid to the Palestinian civilian population and to raise awareness worldwide of the need to get involved in "breaking Israel's illegal siege of Gaza."
