Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares announced that his country has initiated procedures to impose sanctions on the "first group of 12 violent Israeli occupiers" in the West Bank.
Speaking at the Parliament's European Union (EU) Joint Commission, Albares stated that the promise they announced two weeks ago, "Spain could act unilaterally to stop and impose sanctions on Jews committing acts of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank", was put into action.
"Silence and inaction always yield results to the detriment of the victims," said Albares, adding that after the EU could not make a joint decision due to Hungary's obstruction at the EU summit held at the end of February, the Spanish government began the procedures to impose sanctions on "the first group of 12 violent Israeli settlers" in the West Bank. He noted that they decided to start.
