Overview

• Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez labeled Israel’s campaign in Gaza a genocide and unveiled nine actions, led by a royal‑decree arms embargo plus port and airspace restrictions tied to defense supplies.
• Foreign minister Gideon Saar accused Spain of corruption and antisemitism, barred Yolanda Díaz and Sira Rego from entering Israel, and signaled further decisions after consultations.
• Spain’s foreign minister José Manuel Albares called ambassador Ana María Salomón Pérez back to Madrid for consultations and formally rejected Israel’s accusations as false and defamatory.
• Vice‑president Yolanda Díaz supported the measures but pressed for a deeper break, urging withdrawal of the ambassador and a severing of diplomatic and commercial relations.
• The opposition PP condemned Sánchez’s move as a distraction from scandals, while the government cited its two‑state stance, anti‑antisemitism record and increased support for Palestinian institutions.
