Spain demands EU suspend Israel association deal

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has publicly stated that Israel is violating international law and humanitarian law in Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza. He made the remarks while referencing Article 2 of the EU-Israel association agreement, which is conditioned on respect for human rights. Sánchez's comments are a direct call for the European Union to consider suspending its association agreement with Israel. This stance aligns with Spain's previous criticism of the US war on Iran and has put it at odds with Washington, which is reportedly weighing punishments for NATO allies who did not support its Iran campaign.
