From Washington expresses concern over Spanish measures against shipments to Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA US State Department spokesperson says the latest measures announced by the Spanish government against Israel, limiting access to Spanish ports and airspace to ships and planes carrying weapons for Israel, are “deeply concerning.”
“It is deeply concerning that Spain, a NATO member, has chosen to potentially limit US operations and to turn its back on Israel on the same day six individuals were killed in Jerusalem. These measures embolden terrorists,” the spokesperson said in an email sent to Reuters today.
A spokesperson for Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez does not immediately respond to a request for comment.
