Overview

• Thousands marched in central València calling for a “real embargo,” a full rupture of ties, and sanctions against Israel.
• Organizers from BDS País Valencià issued five demands that include ending all arms and security‑technology trade, cutting academic, diplomatic, economic, sporting and cultural links, imposing international sanctions, backing ICJ and ICC cases, and halting the criminalization of pro‑Palestine solidarity.
• Protest leaders cast Spain’s recent arms embargo as a popular win but argued that it falls short of what the situation requires.
• The march moved from Plaza del Ayuntamiento to Plaza de la Virgen, where speakers condemned strikes on hospitals and humanitarian refuge zones.
• El Periódico reports expanding international pressure on Israel, citing wider boycotts, multiple national arms embargoes, and moves in Western capitals to recognize a Palestinian state and sanction Israeli officials.
