"The Jewish people have suffered countless persecutions, deserve to have their own state, and to feel secure. That is why the Spanish government has condemned Hamas' attacks from day one, he began, immediately following with the accusation of genocide: There is a difference between defending your country and bombing hospitals or starving innocent children. This is an unjustifiable attack on the civilian population, which the U.N. rapporteur has described as genocide. Sixty thousand dead, two million displaced, half of them children. This is not self-defense"
"Sanchez has announced even more forceful measures, including a decree which will be approved by the Spanish Cabinet on Tuesday and must be ratified by Congress that legally enforces what was already happening in practice. According to Sanchez, this entails a total embargo on the purchase and sale of arms to Israel, as well as eight additional measures designed to prevent ships or aircraft that might carry fuel or support to the Israeli military from docking or landing in Spain."
Pedro Sánchez called Israel's military offensive in Gaza genocide and described it as an unjustifiable attack on civilians, citing U.N. rapporteur findings and casualty figures. He acknowledged historical Jewish suffering and condemned Hamas' initial attacks while distinguishing state defense from bombing hospitals and starving children. Sánchez announced a decree for Cabinet approval and later ratification by Congress to legally enforce existing practices restricting military support. The decree imposes a total embargo on the purchase and sale of arms to Israel and eight additional measures to prevent ships or aircraft carrying fuel or military support from docking or landing in Spain. The announcement exposed tensions within the governing coalition between the PSOE and Sumar.
