Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced today that his country will request the European Union to terminate its association agreement with the Zionist entity, stating that it “violates international law.”

Speaking at an election rally in the Andalusia region, Sánchez said: “Next Tuesday, the Spanish government will present a proposal to Europe aimed at terminating the association agreement between the European Union and Israel,” which was signed in 2000.

He added that “a government that violates international law cannot be a partner of the European Union,” referring to the government of the criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, whom is wanted by the International Criminal Court for committing war crimes in Gaza.

These statements come amid strained relations between Spain and the Zionist entity. Spain is considered one of the strongest critics of US and the Zionist entity's military campaigns in Iran and Lebanon, despite threats by the United States to penalize non-cooperative members of the NATO.

Sánchez has recently escalated his political rhetoric against the Zionist entity, opposing Israeli military operations in Iran and Lebanon and calling for the suspension of the EU-Israel association agreement, stressing that such violations must not go “without accountability.”

He also ordered the closure of Spanish airspace to any aircraft participating in what he described as a “reckless and illegal” conflict.

In response, the Zionist "Foreign Minister" Gideon Sa'ar condemned Spain’s ban on aircraft and ships transporting weapons to Israel through its ports or airspace due to Israeli military operations, describing the move as “anti-Semitic.”

In March, Spain took another step in escalating diplomatic tensions by relieving its ambassador to the Zionist entity of her duties, effectively downgrading diplomatic relations to the level of chargé d’affaires amid ongoing tensions between the two sides.
