Spain's Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation summoned Dana Erlich, the chargé d'affaires of the Israeli embassy in Spain, to express condemnation regarding the detention of an aid boat in international waters. The boat was reportedly en route to the Gaza Strip. The Spanish Ministry stated that its embassy and consulate in Israel, along with consular emergency units, remain fully operational and in contact with organizers. Eleven countries, including Turkey, Spain, Brazil, and Jordan, issued a joint statement condemning an Israeli action as an open breach of international law. Spain's Foreign Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that Israel violated international law by attacking a civilian ship in territory not belonging to them. Reactions to the incident were described as very strong.
