The Spanish government plans to approve sanctions against Israel at the next Council of Ministers meeting on Tuesday, El País reported on Saturday.
The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and the Sumar electoral alliance in Spain have been reportedly working to implement an arms embargo on Israel.
Spain reportedly wants the embargo to be implemented immediately, El País cited government sources as saying. The embargo will prohibit the sale, supply, transfer, or export of weapons and technology directly or indirectly to Israel, according to the report, and this would apply to both public entities and private companies.
The embargo would also prohibit the import of military products from Israel.
Breaking off relations?
Second Deputy Prime Minister of Spain Yolanda Díaz also announced on Saturday that Sumar and PSOE are "working on a set of measures to break relations with the Netanyahu regime" and declare the Israeli Prime Minister a persona non grata in Spain, with discussions to extend these measures to Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, according to El País.
The Sumar electoral alliance also supports recalling the Spanish ambassador to Israel.
