Anna Ruiz (Montuïri), an activist and nautical professional, was part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, an international initiative that aimed to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge the Israeli naval blockade. On April 30, her boat, the BribonA, was intercepted along with other vessels of the mission in international waters near Greece. Ruiz joined the flotilla in the midst of a war that, since October 2023, has caused the death of more than 72,000 Palestinians and displaced most of the population of the Strip. While Benjamin Netanyahu's government has announced its intention to expand military control over the enclave to 70%, the Majorcan activist asserts that she could not stand aside from the conflict. In this interview, she recounts how she experienced the interception, the aggressions she reports witnessing, and the role that, in her opinion, Western governments are playing in the face of the situation experienced by the Palestinian people.

Hundreds of people gathered in Palma this Saturday to demand protection from the Global Sumud Flotilla and to protest against Israel's attacks on Gaza.

The Global Sumud Flotilla has departed Menorca for Tunisia after having to stop for a few days to repair some boats damaged by the effects of the storm.

The Global Sumud Flotilla made a "technical stopover" in Menorca early Wednesday morning on its journey to Gaza, the organization reported in a statement. The mission departed Barcelona on Sunday, although they had to return to the Catalan capital due to a storm at sea. Once weather conditions permitted, they went out again.

Pedro Sánchez has stood out, at the European level, as one of the most forceful leaders when it comes to condemning the genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza and recognizing a future Palestinian state. The increasingly extreme facts are proving him right. Faced with this evidence, France and Germany have begun to change their position. But Sánchez's international political positioning in this area does not fully correspond with domestic events.
