Israel accuses Spain of diplomatic hostility over Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Spain of pursuing a hostile diplomatic agenda after ordering the removal of Spanish officials from a U.S.-backed coordination center focused on post-war stabilization efforts in Gaza. Relations between the two countries have worsened since Spain recognized a Palestinian state in 2024, leading to both nations withdrawing their ambassadors. Netanyahu stated that Spain cannot expect to play a role in shaping the region's future while criticizing Israel.
