Spain prohibited on Monday the transit of US military aircraft and vessels carrying arms, ammunition, or equipment destined for Israel through its bases at Rota (Cadiz) and Moron de la Frontera (Seville), sources familiar with the functioning of the US-Spain Joint Committee confirmed.
“Rota and Moron are not a backdoor,” said the sources, who wanted to stay anonymous, Spanish daily El Pais reported.
The sources stressed that both remain sovereign Spanish bases under Spanish command and that all activity requires Madrid’s authorization.
The move comes as Washington continues to supply the bulk of weaponry used by Israel in its offensive on Gaza, where more than 66,000 people have been killed.
i hate that it takes years of experienced & esoteric professionalism to understand whether or not the spanish gov’t is actually helping or using news like this to help whitewash their crimes.
They’re whitewashing themselves, they’re just a tiny bit more leftist than the rest of Europe but don’t forget they’re liberals, they could have done this a long time ago.
Do you have any evidence for this?
Please say no
That they could have done a lot more a long time ago. The fact fhat their vessel did nothing to prevent the flotilla from being kidnapped, and they went back to Spain the moment they got too close. And I’ve seen videos today of police clashing with demonstrators during the protests in favour of the flotilla. Such a leftist government.
it’s depressing to see that there is no gov’t in the western world willing to defend humanity.
They’ve all been in cahoots since the end of world war 2.
The “Western world” is controlled by a handful of white families that own most of the wealth.
