An investigation has shown that Spain has allowed shipments of US arms to Israel via one of its ports, potentially contradicting Madrid's pro-Gaza stance.
An investigation by two NGOs has uncovered that Spanish authorities have permitted the passage of several US cargo ships carrying weapons to Israel via one of its ports in the Mediterranean Sea, in a possible contradiction to its pro-Palestinian stance. The probe, carried out by the Palestinian Youth Movement and Progressive International and reported by Spanish website El Diario, revealed that US ships carrying weaponry had reportedly made at least 25 journeys between May and September this year.

The investigation said that 1,185 shipments with military supplies worth more than 13,000 tonnes passed through the Algeciras route, one of Europe's biggest ports.
This comes as Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said Madrid would enact a policy barring ships carrying arms to Israel from docking at Spanish ports after Spain had refused to dock a ship carrying weapons headed to Israel in May.
