Spain is urging Brussels to halt the bloc’s association agreement with Israel “immediately,” according to Foreign Minister Jos Manuel Albares. Spain’s foreign minister, Jose Manuel Albares, has said Spain will call on EU foreign ministers to “immediately suspend” the EU‑Israel association agreement and seek a ban on arms sales to Israel, citing concerns of human rights violations in Gaza. The trade relationship between the 27‑member bloc and Israel, worth €68 billion ($73 billion), is set up under an agreement signed in 1995. The EU is Israel’s largest commercial partner, accounting for roughly one-third of its international trade. Speaking to reporters ahead of the EU foreign ministers’ meeting with in Brussels on Monday, Albares called for the immediate suspension of the agreement, saying “this is the time for action” and that continued violations of human rights in Gaza demanded a firm European response.
