Spain has halted all arms sales and exports to Israel, urging for an immediate ceasefire amidst the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Spain’s Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, revealed that the country has halted all arms exports to Israel since 7 October last year, when Israel began its aerial bombardment.
“The events of that month and beyond made us realise the importance of a ceasefire as more than 27,000 Palestinians have been killed,” he said.
“Spain wants a viable Palestinian State that co-exists alongside Israel, the two-state solution.,” he added.
Israel has since bombed numerous UN facilities, schools and hospitals in the besieged Strip, he said urging all parties to comply with the orders of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
