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 association agreement between the European Union and Israel, which is predicated on respect for these laws. Sánchez's comments constitute a direct call for the EU to review its relationship with Israel based on these alleged violations. The statement increases diplomatic pressure on Israel from within the European bloc.
