Spain Implements Measures Against Israel Amid Gaza Conflict

Spain introduces several measures against Israel to stop the "genocide in Gaza". Israel responds with accusations of antisemitism and bars ministers.

In total, it involves nine different measures. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's left-wing government will approve a decree to "establish in law" the ban on the sale and purchase of military equipment with Israel that the country has applied since the beginning of the war.

Ships transporting fuel to the Israeli military will also be prohibited in Spanish ports.

"All persons who directly participate in the genocide, violations of human rights and war crimes in the Gaza Strip" will be prohibited from entering Spanish territory, says Sánchez in a televised speech.

Aircraft transporting military equipment will also be restricted in Spanish airspace.

Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar accuses Spain of anti-Semitism.

Saar also states that Yolanda Diaz, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Labour, and Youth Minister Sira Rego are prohibited from entering the country.

Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs "strongly rejects the false and slanderous accusations of anti-Semitism" and responds by recalling the country's ambassador from Tel Aviv.
