Spain's opposition accuses government of 'hypocrisy' over arms sales to Israel

Spain's left-wing opposition Podemos party accused the government of hypocrisy regarding arms sales to Israel.

Deliberating on a report by the Delas Center for Peace Studies that examined arms exports to Israel in 2022-23, the party's leader Ione Belarra argued that arms exports to Israel from Spain since October 7, 2023, reached €1.27 billion ($1.37 billion).

These facts contradict Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's and Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares' claims that no arms sales to Israel have occurred since the beginning of Israeli army attacks on the Gaza Strip last October, she added, Anadolu reported.

In her comments on social media, Belarra said, "I have no words to describe the shame I feel about the hypocrisy of the Spanish Government."
