In this video, Security in Context's Anita Fuentes and Fernando Brancoli interview Spanish former Minister Ione Belarra about the war in Gaza.

Since the beginning of the war, Belarra has emerged as one of the few European voices in a government position to strongly express her rejection of the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza. As the Secretary-General of Spain's Podemos party and former Minister of Social Rights and Agenda 2030, Belarra articulates a compelling narrative on the crisis in Palestine, the broader implications for global human rights advocacy, and the strategic vision of the #JusticeForGaza initiative.

#JusticeForGaza is an international popular initiative to advocate for the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate and prosecute the Israeli government for the crimes and collective punishment committed in Gaza since 7 October, 2023, spearheaded by Belarra and other leaders of the transformative left in Europe and Latin America.
