SPAIN & IRELAND DEMAND E.U. SUSPEND TRADE WITH ISRAEL
October 15, 2024Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called on the European Commission to take a stance on whether to suspend the European Union’s association agreement with Israel, just days after urging a halt to weapons sales to Israel.
“The European Commission must respond once and for all to the formal request made by two European countries to suspend the association agreement with Israel if it is found, as everything suggests, that human rights are being violated,” Sánchez told an event on Monday in Barcelona.
The comments refer to requests made by Spain and Ireland in February for an urgent review of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, over concerns that Israel has breached human rights obligations embedded in the pact.

Pedro Sanchez: I do believe that it is urgent that under the spotlight of all that is happening in the Middle East, the international community should cease to export arms to the Israeli government. I think that this is urgent and this is a call that I am going to make at the first instance available before the international community: the end to exporting arms to the Netanyahu government.
