Overview

• Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez unveiled nine measures, including a permanent halt to weapons sales, a ban on vessels carrying fuel for the Israeli army from Spanish ports, and closure of airspace to aircraft transporting military materiel to Israel.
• Spain will deny entry to individuals it says are directly involved in genocide, human rights violations, or war crimes in Gaza, and it will bar imports from Israeli settlements while limiting consular services for Spaniards living there.
• The government framed the steps as an effort to stop what Sánchez called a genocide in Gaza, saying Spain supports Israel’s right to exist but rejects actions that target civilians.
• Israel condemned the move as antisemitic and announced entry bans on Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz and Youth Minister Sira Rego; Spain rejected the accusation and said it will not be intimidated.
• Spain also pledged increased humanitarian support, with an additional €10 million for UNRWA and €150 million in aid, and said the decree will go to Cabinet before Congress for ratification.
