After the publication of footage of the mistreatment of the Sumud flotilla members, including six Dutch nationals, the kingdom's Foreign Ministry demanded an explanation from the Israeli ambassador. This was reported on May 20 by the NOS TV channel.

"Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen has summoned the Israeli Ambassador to the Netherlands for an explanation," the publication says.

The Spanish Foreign Ministry made the same decision and summoned the Israeli Charge d'affaires to the Ministry.

On the same day, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs detained 430 pro-Palestinian activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was heading to the shores of the Gaza Strip. It was noted that all of them have been transferred to Israeli vessels and are heading to Israel, where they will be able to meet with their consular representatives. According to the country's Foreign Ministry, the flotilla's attempt to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza was "just a PR stunt" in the interests of the Palestinian Hamas group.
