Spanish PM urges international community to stop arming Israel

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez calls on the international community to stop selling weapons to Israel.

"In light of everything that is happening in the Middle East, the international community should stop exporting weapons to the government of Israel," he tells reporters in Rome after a meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican.

His comments come as fighting in the Middle East spreads from Gaza into Lebanon and neighbouring Syria, raising fears of an all-out conflict in the Middle East.
