Spain could detain Netanyahu over Marmara raid if he enters country
- 8 years ago
A judge in Spain has found a legal loophole that would enable authorities in the country to detain Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and six other Israeli officials over the 2010 Israeli Navy raid of the Mavi Marmara.
Judge Jose de la Mata of Spain's National Court instructed Spanish police over the weekend to monitor the movements of Netanyahu and the six other ministers and former ministers who made up "The Seven" forum at the time of the raid.
The ministers and former ministers in question are Moshe Ya'alon, Dan Meridor, Eli Yishai, Avigdor Lieberman, Ehud Barak and Benny Begin.
The seven were sued in the past by three Spanish nationals who were aboard the Gaza-bound flotilla, where ten Turkish nationals, including one Turkish-American, were killed.
