12/17 – Washington Violates Spain’s Ban On Arms Shipments To Israel: Report
Madrid passed legislation in May forbidding the transport of weapons to Israel through its ports amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza
The US military sent over a thousand tons of ammunition to Israel on a ship that docked at a US naval base in Spain, despite Madrid’s embargo on vessels carrying military cargo bound for Israel, The Intercept reported on 17 December.
According to researchers from the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) and Progressive International, a ship owned by Sealift Inc. docked at Naval Station Rota, which is located in Spanish territory but partly operated by the US Navy.
“Shipments through American military bases in Spain of military materials, which may be used in the commission of international crimes, are harder to detect,” Enrique Santiago, Spanish legislator, told The Intercept.
“If shipments of military material used in international crimes are made through American bases in Spain, and this fact can be evidenced, the people taking part in them would equally have criminal liability,” Santiago added.
Spanish officials passed legislation last May forbidding ships transporting arms to Israel to dock in Spain. Spain has prevented more than five vessels from docking at its ports under the policy.
