Spain Pulls Ambassador to Israel Amid Escalating Tensions
Spain withdraws its ambassador to Israel, further escalating the diplomatic rift between the two countries following the Gaza conflict.
Spain has formally dismissed its ambassador to Israel, six months after recalling her in a dispute prompted by the war in Gaza. The country's Tel Aviv embassy will now be led by a charge d'affaires until further notice.
The move, announced by the Spanish government, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing diplomatic tensions between Spain and Israel. The dispute was originally sparked by Spain's strong condemnation of Israel's military operations in Gaza during the 2022 conflict, which resulted in the recall of the ambassador in May 2022.
