Latest: Spain’s top diplomat proposes imposing sanctions on Israel to force end to Gaza war

Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares urges allies to impose arms embargo on Israel, as well as individual sanctions on people who are trying to ‘ruin the two-state solution forever’ Where is this second state? Rewarding terrorism

The international community should look at sanctions against Israel to stop the Gaza war, Spain’s foreign minister said Sunday, as European and Arab nations gathered in Madrid to urge an end to its offensive.

Some of Israel’s long-standing allies have added their voices to growing international pressure after it expanded military operations against the Hamas terror group, which rules the Gaza Strip.

An aid blockade lasting almost three months has worsened shortages of food, water, fuel and medicine in the Palestinian enclave, stoking fears of famine.
Even after Israel allowed deliveries to resume last week, aid organizations have said the trickle of supplies entering the Strip falls far short of needs.

The talks aimed to stop Israel’s “inhumane” and “senseless” war in Gaza, Albares told reporters before the meeting opened.

Humanitarian aid must enter Gaza “massively, without conditions and without limits, and not controlled by Israel,” he added, describing the territory as humanity’s “open wound.” Déjà vu Hamas and terror proxies say Thank you

Representatives from European countries, including France, Britain, Germany and Italy joined envoys from Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Morocco, the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.

Norway, Iceland, Ireland and Slovenia, who like Spain have already recognised a Palestinian state, also took part, alongside Brazil.
