A trio of House Democrats from the progressive 'Squad' is urging the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to halt the U.S.-led investigation into Spain's anti-Israel arms embargo. Representatives Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, and Summer Lee have written to the FMC, criticizing the probe into Spain's decision to deny port entry to ships carrying weapons bound for Israel.
Spain, a key U.S. ally and NATO member, announced a halt to weapon sales to Israel during its conflict with Hamas in October 2023. Since then, Spain has refused entry to ships suspected of carrying arms for Israel on multiple occasions.
