Israel's Herzog criticizes Spain over tensions

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has publicly criticized the Spanish government in an interview with Spanish newspaper El Mundo. Herzog stated that for a long time he sought ways to de-escalate and reduce tensions with the Spanish government, but all Israel received were 'slaps in the face.' The comments mark a significant deterioration in diplomatic relations between the two countries, with Herzog framing Spain's actions as deliberate provocations. No specific incidents were detailed, but the language suggests a deep and ongoing bilateral dispute.
