As reported by the EFE news agency today, Spain will ask the European Union to 'immediately' suspend the association agreement with Israel, an embargo on arms sales by the EU.

"It is not denunciations that will stop this inhumane war in Gaza, it is actions. And I am clearly going to put three actions on the table: the immediate suspension of the association agreement, an embargo on arms sales by the European Union to Israel, and individual sanctions against all those who want to definitively undermine the two-state solution," the Spanish Foreign Minister, Jose Manuel Albares, told EFE on his arrival at the EU Council of Foreign Ministers.

This action is consistent with the statements made in recent days by the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, who has clearly opposed the proposal by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to increase the military spending of the alliance's member countries to 5% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
