Spain says Netanyahu deploying starvation as ‘tool of war’; calls for sanctions on Israel
Parliament approves ‘Gaza Law’
A senior Spanish official has denounced Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for using starvation as a weapon of war during Tel Aviv’s ongoing war of genocide on the Gaza Strip.
Speaking on Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz also called for immediate sanctions against the Israeli regime, and urged expedited enforcement of a parliamentary-approved arms embargo targeting the regime.
“In wars, one of the tools used is starvation, and that’s exactly what Netanyahu is doing today,” she stated, while emphasizing the urgent need for international action.
“Sanctions must be imposed on Israel, the genocidal state that is committing a massacre in Gaza in full view of the world.”
Spanish parliament approves ‘Gaza Law’
The remarks came a day after the Spanish parliament approved a non-binding motion, informally known as the “Gaza Law.”
The measure is aimed at imposing an automatic embargo on arms sales to parties found culpable of crimes against humanity by international courts.
