[Brazil and Spain Demand Israel Release Two Detained Activists] According to Golden Finance, on May 2, the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a joint statement with Spain, strongly condemning Israel's actions of detaining citizens of both countries in international waters, calling it an act of "kidnapping." The statement noted that the two individuals were aboard a vessel associated with the "Global Resilience Fleet" when they were intercepted by the Israeli military near Greek waters. Brazil and Spain demanded that Israel immediately release the two individuals, ensure their safe return, and allow them immediate access to consular assistance.
