Spanish court investigates Netanyahu, officials over Madleen ship attack
Spain's national court has launched a criminal investigation into 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, and several senior 'Israeli' military officials for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity linked to the attack on the humanitarian aid ship Madleen in June. European Parliament member and lawyer Jaume Asens filed the complaint on behalf of Spanish activist Sergio Toribio and the 'Committee for Solidarity with the Arab Cause.' Speaking on X on Tuesday, Asens confirmed the court's decision to investigate the use of drones, tear gas, and the illegal detention of 12 activists aboard the Madleen. La Audiencia Nacional investiga a Netanyahu por crímenes de guerra y de lesa humanidad por el asalto al barco Madleen. En este vídeo te explico los hechos, los delitos investigados y quiénes son los responsables. #FlotillaGaza — Jaume Asens (@Jaumeasens) July 8, 2025 Asens described the investigation as a significant step in combating 'Israel's' impunity. He stressed that when states fail to uphold their obligations, civil society must mobilize justice as a moral, legal, and political tool against such atrocities. He expressed hope the initiative would spread to other countries and prevent Netanyahu from entering Europe without facing justice. On June 9, the 'Israeli' military seized the Madleen from international waters while it was en route to the blockaded Gaza Strip carrying humanitarian aid, detaining 12 international activists on board. In the following days, 'Israel' deported four activists who signed pledges not to return, while eight others refused to sign.
