Spanish Parliament votes to ban arms trade with Israel

TEHRAN, Oct. 09 (MNA) – The Spanish Parliament voted in favor of a law by a majority vote in line with anti-Zionist policies due to the regime's crimes in the Gaza Strip.

In line with anti-Zionist policies, the Spanish Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of a law banning any arms trade and exchange between Madrid and Tel Aviv due to the regime's crimes in the Gaza Strip.

The Spanish newspaper El Pais reported that after two weeks of the Podemos (We Can) party refusing to reveal its position, the Spanish parliament finally voted in favor of an arms embargo on Israel.

The approval of the plan by Podemos was not announced until a few hours before the vote, when the party's secretary general, Iván Blara, stated: "Today we will authorize the approval of this royal decree."

The law was passed with 178 votes in favor, 169 against and one abstention. Four Podemos deputies, who had been highly critical of the measure, eventually supported it.

The Madrid government says it has banned the purchase of weapons from Israel or their sale to Tel Aviv since the start of the war in Gaza.
