Madrid (AFP) – Spain’s prime minister announces that the country will implement nine measures aimed at stopping “the genocide in Gaza”. The announcement marks the latest escalation in Spain’s outspoken criticism of the Israeli offensive, which was sparked by Hamas’s 2023 attack. Included in the measures are an arms embargo on Israel and a ban on vessels carrying fuel for the Israeli military using Spanish ports. Pedro Sanchez says the the move is also so that the Spanish people “knows and feels that…their country, Spain, was on the right side of history.”
