Spain recalls its ambassador to Israel, downgrading ties over disputes on Iran, Gaza, and U.S. military access.
Spain has permanently withdrawn its ambassador to Israel, downgrading relations to the level of a chargé d'affaires amid escalating tensions over Spain’s opposition to U.S.-Israel military actions against Iran and its criticism of Israel’s Gaza campaign.
The decision, approved by Spain’s Council of Ministers, follows Spain’s recognition of Palestinian statehood, bans on weapons shipments to Israel, and refusal to allow U.S. military use of its bases.
Israel previously recalled its ambassador in protest, and officials have labeled Spain’s policies as antisemitic.
The move reflects Spain’s firm stance against military escalation and its commitment to diplomatic solutions, while maintaining normal relations with the U.S.
