Spain Not Going to Contribute to Israeli War on Gaza: FM
Jose Manuel Albares said on Friday that Spain will not authorize ships carrying weapons for Israel to call at its ports.
He made the comment after the country refused to let a ship call at the southeastern port of Cartagena.
The ship was the first to be denied access to a Spanish port, Albares said, adding the refusal was consistent with the government’s decision not to grant weapon export licenses to Israel since 7 October, as Spain doesn’t “want to contribute to war”.
