Spanish PM Urges EU Nations to Suspend Trade and Arms Deals with Israel
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is urging the European Union to
suspend its free trade agreement with Israel. Sánchez spoke earlier
today in Barcelona.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: "I believe that the European Commission,
the government of all Europeans, must respond once and for all to the
formal request that two European countries made, Spain and Ireland, nine
months ago and suspend the free trade agreement with the government of
Israel. … And the international community must immediately suspend the
shipment of weapons to Israel, as Spain has done, for a very simple but
also overwhelming reason, that without weapons, there is no war."
