The Spanish government has approved a total embargo on arms destined for Israel, as part of measures to combat the "genocide in Gaza".

The adopted decree prohibits all exports of defense equipment to Israel and their imports into Spain, including the transit of fuel for military aviation. The embargo, announced by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, is considered an important and pioneering step at the international level. Although the decree will come into effect immediately, it requires approval from Parliament, where the government does not have a majority. Sanchez has vehemently criticized the Israeli offensive in Gaza, describing it as one of the darkest events of the 21st century.
