Spain follows US interests of arming Israeli genocide in Gaza: Ex-minister
A former Spanish minister has slammed the alignment between the country's interests with those of the United States in arming the Israeli regime's ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
"...Spain follows the interests of the United States in the Red Sea, which is arming Israel in the middle of a genocide...," Ione Belarra wrote on X, former Twitter, on Thursday.
That Spain follows the interests of the United States in the Red Sea, which is arming Israel in the middle of a genocide in which 20,000 Palestinian civilians have already been murdered, is unbearable hypocrisy. Not in our name. Break relations with Israel now.

The US has been using the body of water to arm the Israeli regime with more than 10,000 tons of military equipment since October 7, when Tel Aviv began an unrelenting war against Gaza.
More than 20,000 people, including at least 8,000 children, have been killed since the onset of the military campaign that the regime started to wage following an operation staged by Gaza's resistance movements.
Belarra, currently secretary-general of Spain's ruling left-wing Podemos Party, called the fact that Madrid backed Washington's support for the Israeli warfare "unbearable hypocrisy."
"Not in our name. Break relations with Israel now," she added.
Belarra was Spain's minister for social rights until she was removed from her post by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in November over her targeting of the "deafening silence" of her country and the regime's other Western allies on Tel Aviv's ferocious war.
Also in November, she wrote on X that she and her colleagues were "concerned" that a trip made by Sánchez to the occupied territories "could be used to whitewash [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, who is a war criminal."
