Overview

• Podemos confirmed it will back the royal decree-law on an arms embargo against Israel after days of publicly opposing it.
• Party leaders had labeled the measure a “fake” embargo and criticized an exceptions clause tied to national interest, urging a tougher text without carve-outs.
• The party said it will vote yes to avoid being used as an excuse for inaction and to highlight that Spain still maintains military ties with Israel.
• Junts previously signaled support, though it voiced timing concerns on Tuesday, leaving the outcome effectively dependent on Podemos’s decision.
• Validation keeps the decree in force and sends it into ordinary parliamentary processing as a bill for further debate and potential changes.
