Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has announced his government will formally propose that the European Union suspend or annul its association agreement with Israel. He stated the proposal will be brought to Europe on Tuesday, arguing that any government violating international law cannot be a partner of the EU. Sánchez clarified that Spain is a friend of the Israeli people but disagrees with the actions of its government. The move represents a significant diplomatic escalation within the EU regarding Israel's conduct.
