Spanish MEP Irene Montero Blasts EU’s Kaja Kallas Over Israel Gaza Flotilla Hijacking and Detention of EU Citizens
May 21, 2026
Spanish MEP Irene Montero (Podemos) completely tore into the EU’s newly appointed Foreign Policy Chief, Kaja Kallas, fiercely confronting her for sitting back and smirking while the Israeli military carries out open piracy, hijacking civilian aid ships and kidnapping European citizens in international waters.
While European medical workers, rights advocates, and journalists are illegally held at gunpoint, top EU officials are literally treating the violations like a joke.
During a heated debate on the naval blockade, Montero locked eyes with Kallas from the podium, slamming her complicit silence and smug demeanor. Montero fired a direct shot that is going completely viral: “Israel has been in the middle of the Mediterranean for 24 hours, ‘hijacking ships and kidnapping European citizens.’ You find that ‘amusing’, don’t you? It doesn’t amuse me at all.”
The Spanish lawmaker put the EU’s staggering geopolitical hypocrisy on trial, asking point-blank how the bloc would react if any other nation had committed identical acts of piracy. “What would you do if it were Iran? What would you do if it were Russia standing in the middle of the Mediterranean to kidnap European citizens? But since it’s Israel…”
Irene Montero said what millions of people are thinking: the EU’s selective outrage isn’t diplomacy, it is a pathetic, cowardly double standard.
