Spain Denies Port of Call to Ship Carrying Arms to Israel

Spain recently denied a cargo ship carrying arms to Israel, the Marianne Danica, from docking at the port of Cartagena, citing peace in the Middle East as a primary concern. This action follows the government's refusal to allow another ship, the Borkum, suspected of transporting military material for Israel, to make a stop in Spain.

Foreign Minister Albares has warned that Spain will not permit any ships carrying weapons for Israel to enter its ports in the future. Left-wing parties in Spain, such as Sumar and Podemos, are actively condemning and pressuring the government to halt alleged arms shipments to Israel, expressing worries about supporting Israel's actions in Gaza.
