Spanish parliament approves Israel arms embargo

Spanish lawmakers on Wednesday approved the enshrinement in law of an arms embargo on Israel. It bans all exports of defence equipment, products or technology to Israel and imports of such goods from the country. The decree also outlaws the transit of aviation fuel with potential military use and bans the advertising of products "coming from illegal colonies in Gaza and the West Bank".

The text allows the government to make exceptions for dual-use defence equipment "if the application of the ban harmed general national interests".
