Spain’s Ione Belarra: Israel must end ‘genocide’ of Palestinians in Gaza

In an interview with Al Jazeera, a Spanish minister has called on the international community to sanction Israel, which she accused of a “planned genocide” of Palestinians in Gaza. Ione Belarra, the Spanish minister for social rights and leader of the far-left Podemos party, also condemned world leaders for an apparent double standard – saying while human rights abuses in Ukraine have been decried, there is a “deafening silence” on the victims of Israeli bombardment. “The Israeli state must end this planned genocide against the Palestine people,” Belarra said on Wednesday.

Spain’s population dilemma: Country grapples with vanishing towns

According to government statistics, half of Spain’s municipalities are at risk of losing their population. These are primarily towns of fewer than 1000 people. But the data shows this issue is no longer confined to just rural areas. People are also moving out of provincial capitals and small to medium-sized cities. To reverse the trend, this year, the European Union gave Spain more than $11bn for a “repopulation program”. The goal is to provide small towns with more basic services, high-speed internet, and funding for housing and job creation.
