Israel imposes entry ban on senior Spanish officials
Israel has said that Tel Aviv will not maintain any ties with the Deputy Prime Minister of Spain and Minister of Labor Yolanda Diaz.
Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said in a statement on X that Diaz, a member of the Communist Party of Spain, will also be banned from entering Israel.
Diaz has been critical of Israel’s war in Gaza, calling for the imposition of international sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel.
“Similar sanctions will also be imposed against Sira Rago, Minister for Youth and Children, from the same party. Entry into Israel will be prohibited, and Israel will not have any contact with it,” Saar said.
Spain on Monday announced nine measures aimed at stopping the genocide in Gaza. These measures include an arms embargo on Israel, closing airspace to all aircraft carrying weapons or ammunition to Israel, and a ban on vessels carrying fuel for the Israeli army from using Spanish ports.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, in a televised address, said: "The measures aim to stop the genocide in Gaza, pursue its perpetrators and support the Palestinian population."
