Latest official statement from Spain as of October says they HALTED shipments of arms to Israel
the newest news on it would be this (not even sure about source on this one as its presstv.ir?) https://www.presstv.ir/doc/Detail/2025/02/20/743185/Israel-Spain-US-Israel-
where the US is sending Arms through their Military Bases in Spain to Israel with condemnation from the Spanish government as they cant control what goes on in US Military bases.
the Spanish Foreign Ministry said that officials “[have] not authorized any transit through Spanish airports of defense material destined for Israel,” adding that “no arms sales operations to Israel have been authorized either.”
Shipments through American military bases in Spain of military materials, which may be used in the commission of international crimes, are harder to detect,” Spanish lawmaker Enrique Santiago back then said.
When you come with some inflammatory statement the least you can do is TRY to back it up with something... oh wait.. I see the instance now..
There has been a whole scandal about this, Spain has been sending arms to Israel while the gov says they're not. In fact this scandal has happened like 3 times already, Pedro sanchez says theyre stopping the trades and theyre caught doing it later, 3 times already. This one is the most recent one, this was reported in Spanish and since it has happened multiple times, i get why it wasn't covered in English media.
Straight out of Zaragoza airport, not from a US military base.
Thanks for putting a source to the comment!
What, double standards and hypocrisy from the EU politicians? And I wonder who they're gonig to buy those weapons from.
Yea, they be "boycotting" US products while literally hosting US military bases in their countries.
🍉 = 🚄?
I wouldn't do it because I just don't feel like being that akward (it's already akward for me to be in a store).
But I do appreciate it, I do mostly buy store brand products so don't expect i'll be contributing much to the US brands.
