Spain Imposes Weapons Embargo on Israel, Unveils Nine-Point Response

The decision pairs punitive measures with fresh UNRWA funding.

Overview

  • All measures take effect immediately, including entry bans for individuals Sánchez described as directly involved in the Gaza "massacre."
  • The package adds a ban on imports from Israeli settlements alongside other restrictions.
  • Spain will increase humanitarian assistance for Gaza with additional support for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
  • Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez accused Israel of committing genocide and rebuked what he called international indifference and complicity.
  • Israel rejects the genocide allegation and blames Hamas for using civilians as shields, while South Africa’s separate ICJ case on alleged Genocide Convention violations moves forward.
