Spain's parliament approves arms embargo against Israel

Spain's parliament has approved an arms embargo against Israel, turning Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's previously announced decree into law. The measure bans all exports of defense equipment to Israel and imports of such goods from the country. This action was taken in response to Israel's war in Gaza, which the Spanish government has described as a genocide. The law also outlaws the transit of aviation fuel with potential military use and bans advertising for products from Israeli settlements in Gaza and the West Bank.
