While the White House has claimed U.S. President Joe Biden is growing increasingly 'frustrated' with Israel 's bombardment of Gaza —largely made possible by U.S. military aid—calls are growing in Europe for governments to halt arms exports to stop their own contributions to the mass killing.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said in late January that the government had halted all arms sales to Israel in October, when Israel began its bombardment of Gaza in retaliation for a Hamas-led attack on October 7. José Albares, Spain's foreign minister, also said last month that the Spanish government had done the same, but El Diario reported on Sunday that the country had actually exported $1.1 million in ammunition to Israel in November.
