In a significant show of force and solidarity, Italy and Spain have announced the deployment of naval warships to escort the Gaza aid flotilla, following a series of reported drone strikes that targeted humanitarian vessels en route to the besieged Palestinian enclave.
According to European defense officials, the decision was taken after multiple aid ships carrying medical supplies and food were threatened during their passage in the eastern Mediterranean. The warships will provide armed protection and surveillance, ensuring the safe arrival of humanitarian cargo to Gaza.
Both governments emphasized that the mission is strictly humanitarian, aimed at safeguarding international aid workers and maintaining the flow of essential goods to civilians in Gaza.
Analysts say the move reflects growing European involvement in the Gaza crisis, highlighting concerns over the safety of aid convoys and increasing pressure on the international community to ensure uninterrupted humanitarian access.
This deployment is expected to draw strong reactions across the region, with supporters hailing it as a necessary step for aid security, while critics warn of escalating tensions in already volatile waters.
