Hundreds of Spanish Artists, Academics Call for Total Arms Embargo on Israel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Spain, over 300 academics, entertainers and artists, including the
directors Pedro Almodóvar and Isabel Coixet, have signed on to a letter
calling on Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to enact a full arms
embargo on Israel, writing, "As long as Spain maintains military
relations with Israel, it will continue to be complicit in this
massacre." Sánchez has said Spain halted its weapons trade with Israel
since October of last year, but investigations have revealed some
military exports have still gone ahead.
