• Madrid summoned Israel’s chargé d’affaires and disputes an Israeli claim that Spain ignored an offer of a direct charter flight, while Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares says consular teams are working to repatriate the Spaniards quickly.
• Barcelona entered a third day of large demonstrations backed by over 600 groups, with a noon march from Jardinets de Gràcia to Arc de Triomf, traffic disruptions, and an ongoing encampment near the port.
• Rescop and allied networks scheduled rallies across roughly 80 Spanish cities this weekend, as organizers call for an arms embargo and severing ties with Israel and as Israel labels the flotilla a security threat that activists insist was humanitarian.
