NATO Nation Spain's 1st Anti-Israel Move; Arms-laden Ship From India To Haifa Not Allowed To Dock

NATO Nation Spain has denied permission for a Danish-flagged ship to dock at its port. The El Pais newspaper reported that the ship - Marianne Danica - is carrying 27 tonnes of explosives from India to Haifa port in Israel. "This is the first time we have done this because it is the first time we have detected a ship carrying a shipment of arms to Israel that wants to call at a Spanish port. This will be a consistent policy with any ship carrying arms to Israel that wants to call at Spanish ports. The foreign ministry will systematically reject such stopovers for one obvious reason. The Middle East does not need more weapons, it needs more peace," said Jose Manuel Albares, Spanish foreign minister. Watch for more details. INTERNATIONAL NEWS
