Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez imposes extensive penalties on Israel, alleges genocidal actions in Gaza.

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has unveiled a package of nine sanctions against Israel, in response to the ongoing operations in Gaza and the West Bank. The measures are expected to enter into effect immediately and are set to be approved at Monday's Cabinet meeting.

The first measure in the sanctions package is a formalized arms embargo through a royal decree, banning all trade in weapons, ammunition, and military equipment with Israel. Additionally, a ban on flights transporting defense materials through Spanish airspace has been announced.

Individuals accused of participating in genocide, war crimes, or rights violations in Gaza will be barred from entering Spain. This measure is expected to apply to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and all members of Israel's government.

Sanctions also include banning imports from Israeli settlements on Palestinian land. Consular services for Spaniards living in such settlements will be limited.

Sanchez declared that what Israel is doing in Gaza is not defense, but destroying a defenseless people. He accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.

To address the humanitarian crisis, Spain will boost its contribution to UNRWA by €10 million ($11.72 million). Humanitarian aid for Gaza will be raised to €150 million.

Spain's role in humanitarian projects, including the E.U. mission at the Rafah crossing, will be increased. The country will also strengthen its cooperation with the State of Palestine.

A prohibition on ships carrying fuel for Israeli forces from passing through Spanish ports has been announced. Sanchez also announced a ban on ships carrying defense materials from doing so.

To further support the Palestinian Authority, Spain will increase its involvement in humanitarian projects and boost its humanitarian aid. The measures are expected to have a significant impact on the ongoing crisis in Gaza and the West Bank.
