Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has assured us that, despite the agreement reached between Israel and Hamas,the government will maintain what was approved in Congress last week,the arms embargo on Israel;  and has not ruled out sending peacekeepers to Gaza if agreed. 

In an interview with the Ser chain, the head of the Spanish Executive has stated that he will continue the arms embargo on Israel because, although it has stopped its attacks on Palestine, "we are facing a ceasefire" and not in a context of peace and, in any case, what Israel has done cannot go "unpunished". "We will keep the embargo until this whole process is consolidated and it is finally conducted," Sanchez said.

Asked whether Spain will send peacekeepers to Gaza , he said that it is not yet clear how security will be exercised in Gaza. But he explained that if it were decided to send international troops, Spain "wants to be there and actively participate, not only in reconstruction, but also on that horizon of peace", he said.

Above all, he has concluded the peace agreement that was staged in Egypt on Monday, but he has insisted that "peace has not led to oblivion" and cannot lead to "impunity", so he has called for the ongoing proceedings in the International Criminal Court to be brought to justice by "the main perpetrators of the genocide in Gaza".
