Spain has called for international sanctions against Israel following its ongoing military campaign in Gaza, which has led to heavy civilian casualties and a worsening humanitarian situation.
At a high-level summit in Madrid, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares proposed suspending the EU’s cooperation agreement with Israel, imposing an arms embargo, and targeting top Israeli officials with sanctions.
Mr Albares also called on world powers to recognise the State of Palestine as a step toward peace.
Spain has joined South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide, further escalating diplomatic pressure.
Meanwhile, public protests across major Spanish cities have amplified demands for an end to arms sales and more decisive action against Israel.
