Semi-Autonomous Region of Spain Joins BDS Campaign
The government of the Valencia region in Spain reportedly voted recently to officially adopt a policy supporting the international effort to Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) Israel. The general assembly of the semi-autonomous region, which is home to 2.5 million residents, issued a statement calling the decision “a grand success for the Palestinian cause,” adding that the assembly will “keep on fighting until Palestine is free.” Pro-Israel groups in Spain plan to challenge the vote in the courts.
