Gaza Flotilla Activists ‘Beaten by Spanish Police’
25th May 2026
Four pro-Palestinian flotilla activists were allegedly beaten by police, dragged across the floor and detained at Bilbao airport after their deportation from Israel.
Footage posted on X shows the moment activists clashed with police that resulted in the detention of three flotilla participants and one of their supporters.
In a jibe at Spanish officials, the Israeli government, which has been criticised by the Spanish government for its alleged treatment of flotilla activists, reposted the video on X and wrote: “We demand an explanation from the Spanish government regarding its treatment of the flotilla anarchists.”
