Spain's prime minister slams Israel’s genocide in Gaza during UN speech

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has harshly criticized Israel's actions in Gaza, describing it as a genocide during his address to the United Nations General Assembly. Sanchez unequivocally condemned the ongoing atrocities committed by Israel and emphasized that Spain has consistently opposed all wars of aggression, including those in Ukraine, Lebanon, and Iran over the past eight years.

The Spanish government has refused to increase military spending and has taken measures to avoid aggression that violates the UN Charter. Sanchez also stated that Madrid is committed to placing sanctions on Russian aggressors, imposing an arms embargo on Israel's Netanyahu government, and prohibiting the use of Spanish territory to deploy aggression against international law.
