of governments in the face of the &#8220;genocide&#8221; perpetrated by Israel in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also on board is the former mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, who recalled that the Catalan capital was &#8220;the first European city to break relations with Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are going to demand this to be materialized in all institutions and European governments,&#8221;

the flotilla to arrive and called for &#8220;breaking relations and applying sanctions&#8221; to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest attempt to break the siege<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thunberg announced on Aug. 10 that the flotilla would be the biggest attempt to break the illegal Israeli siege on Gaza, comprising &#8220;dozens&#8221; of boats that will converge with others from various Mediterranean locations, including Italy and Tunisia, on Sep. 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, the Global Sumud Flotilla, with participants from 44 countries, has received support from social activists in Barcelona and elsewhere in Spain, as well as from internationally renowned actors and actresses, including Susan Sarandon and Liam Cunningham, who were present at the Moll de la Fusta.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-124-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2112318\" style=\"width:868px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-124-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-124-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-124-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-124-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-124-430x286.webp 430w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-124-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-124.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside Spanish actor Eduard Fern\u00e1ndez, Cunningham shared a posthumous message recorded by a five-year-old Palestinian girl, in which she detailed the music she wanted played at her funeral if killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accompanied by the organisation of the Global Sumud Flotilla and with the boats behind her, Thunberg warned that if the government of Benjamin Netanyahu &#8220;decides once again to violate international law&#8221; by preventing the arrival of humanitarian aid in Gaza with the squadron,&#8221; Plan B&#8221; is to return with an even greater presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Our aim is to get to Gaza, to deliver the humanitarian aid, announce the opening of a humanitarian corridor, and then bring more aid, and thus also end, break Israel\u2019s illegal and inhumane siege on Gaza,&#8221; she reiterated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a more elevated tone, German human rights activist Yasemin Acar warned that any act of violence against the Global Sumud Flotilla and its members would be another war crime committed by the &#8220;Zionist entity.&#8221;
