Spanish PM Calls for Global Halt on Arms Sales to Israel

Pedro Sanchez urges international action following Israeli strikes on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez condemned Israeli attacks on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, urging a stop to global arms sales to Israel.
Sanchez's appeal follows similar sentiments from French President Emmanuel Macron, highlighting a growing European divide over Middle East policies.
The call for halting arms sales comes amid escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah, with recent Israeli airstrikes injuring UN peacekeepers.
Spain ceased its own weapons exports to Israel in October 2023, and Sanchez is advocating for a broader international response to prevent further conflict escalation.
Germany, Israel's second-largest arms supplier after the U.S., has pledged to continue its support, contrasting with Spain's stance.
