Palma calls for protection for the Sumud Global Flotilla and a "stop to the genocide" in Palestine.
They have also called for the opening of a "safe" corridor so that the Palestinian people can receive food, medicine, and "everything they are denied."
PalmHundreds 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 rally, organized by the Marches for Palestine in Mallorca and the Global Movement in Gaza, took place at 7:00 p.m. in front of the Government Delegation in the Balearic Islands. Protesters chanted messages such as "Less bullets, more food," "It's not a war, it's a genocide," and "Boycott Israel," among others. According to the organizers, the rally was motivated by the drone attack on the flotilla and the escalating expulsion of the Palestinian population from Gaza.
"We are addressing the Government Delegation in the Balearic Islands to insist on the urgency of implementing the measures announced last Monday," they noted, referring to the Spanish government's new package of measures to "stop the genocide in Gaza, pursue its perpetrators, and support the Palestinian population."
Specifically, they demanded an arms embargo on Israel, which, in their view, should include all imports and exports, as well as a ban on all ships carrying fuel destined for the Israeli armed forces from transiting through Spanish ports.
They have also asked the government, among other measures, to break the bilateral agreement with the United States so they can implement the denial of entry into Spanish airspace to state aircraft transporting defense material destined for Israel.
They also reminded the State of its "obligation to guarantee the safety of all persons on board the flotilla and that it is its responsibility to prevent any harm to persons or property."
In the manifesto, they demanded "an immediate halt to the genocide." "No more excuses or complicit silence," they asserted, while asserting that they cannot "look the other way while Israel violates all international norms."
They have also called for the opening of a "safe" corridor so that the Palestinian people can receive food, medicine, and "everything else they are denied."
