US weighs sanctions against Spanish ships over blocked arms shipment to Israel

"...The United States is considering sanctions on Spanish-flagged vessels after Spain halted ships transporting arms to the Israeli-occupied territories during the regime’s genocidal war in Gaza.

According to Israeli channel 14, the US claims that Spain's decision "harms maritime trade", while Madrid asserts that it will not permit its ports or airspace to facilitate arms deliveries associated with Israel's genocide against Palestinians.

The Spanish government blocked a US vessel from directly accessing one of its ports because it was carrying weapons destined for the occupied territories to be used in the genocide in Gaza.

In response, Washington proposed retaliatory steps that may include denying entry to ships operating under the Spanish flag or imposing heavy financial penalties.

US officials are currently considering various responses, which may include imposing fines for each voyage, restricting the types of cargo, and limiting the entry of Spanish-flagged ships into US ports..."
