✦ AI Brief
Boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla, a civilian-led maritime mission, set sail from Barcelona to Gaza. The mission consists of over 70 boats and 1,000 participants from around the world. Two activists, a Spanish national and a Brazilian, were detained by Israel after their boat was intercepted by the Israeli navy in international waters off Crete. Their detention has been extended by an Israeli court until Tuesday, with Spain and Brazil condemning the detention as "flagrantly illegal" and demanding their immediate release.
