Overview

• Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the patrol vessel Furor (P‑46) will depart from Cartagena to assist the humanitarian flotilla and conduct rescues if needed.
• The government cites a joint statement by 17 countries warning attackers will be held accountable, and Italy has authorized a frigate for possible support operations.
• The Congress of Deputies observed a minute of silence for victims of the genocide in Gaza, with Vox absent and calling the act a farce, while the PP stayed but sought to include Israeli victims.
• In Galicia, all parties joined a minute of silence for the genocide and regional PP leader Alfonso Rueda used the term publicly, though PPdeG later voted down a motion to formally condemn it.
• The dispute over labeling Gaza as genocide versus massacre continues in regional chambers, and opponents accuse Sánchez of using the issue as a smokescreen tied to corruption investigations.
