Oscar-winning Spanish director Pedro Almodovar has urged Madrid to cut all diplomatic and commercial ties with Israel over the conflict in Gaza, calling it a “genocide”, AFP reports.
The “All About My Mother” director called on Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to convince other European leaders to do the same in a video posted on Instagram by his production company.
“I ask our government to sever diplomatic, commercial and all types of relations with the State of Israel as a sign of repulsion against the genocide it is committing against the people of Gaza before the eyes of the entire world,” he said.
