The Spanish government has banned a ship carrying weapons destined for Israel from docking in a port. In the future, this will apply to any ship that wants to transport weapons to Israel, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares announced.
The Middle East “doesn’t need more weapons, it needs more peace.” For this reason, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejects such stops. The Spanish government no longer sells weapons to Israel and is one of the fiercest European critics of the actions in the Gaza Strip. She also wants Palestine to be recognized as a separate state and is trying to convince other European governments of this.
The US House of Representatives voted in favor of arms supplies
Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives has voted in favor of a bill that would force arms sales to Israel. It calls on the government to quickly implement all arms transfers that have already been approved. However, the bill is likely to fail in the Senate, where President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party has the upper hand. He had already announced that he would veto the bill if it passed Congress.
The reason for this was the larger ground offensive in Rafah. “We have been very clear about a possible major military operation in Rafah. We have our concerns,” Biden spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said on Thursday. There are many refugees from other parts of the Gaza Strip in the city.
