Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez
announced on Monday nine measures aimed at halting the “genocide in
Gaza.”

In a press conference, Sanchez affirmed
Spain has decided to ban arms exports to Israel and to prohibit ships carrying
fuel for the Israeli military from passing through Spanish ports.

Spain will also prevent all
aircraft transporting defensive materials to Israel from entering its airspace.
Additionally, it will bar entry to anyone directly involved in the
“genocide and war crimes” from entering Spanish territory, and ban
imports of products from illegal settlements in Gaza and the West Bank.

Sanchez further announced
restrictions on consular services provided to Spanish citizens living in
Israeli settlements deemed illegal, enhanced support for the Palestinian
Authority, increased contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works
Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and expanded humanitarian aid and
cooperation for Gaza.

He stated, “Protecting the
homeland is one thing, but bombing hospitals and starving innocent children to
death is something entirely different,” adding that “what Israel is doing is
the extermination of a defenseless people. It violates all humanitarian laws.
We cannot stand idly by.”

Earlier in 2024, Spain, Norway,
and Ireland formally recognized the state of Palestine.
