Sumar Ministers Press Sánchez With Five-Point Plan to Toughen Spain’s Stance on Israel

PSOE has not yet indicated whether it will adopt the package, leaving a live test of coalition unity.

Overview

  • The junior partner’s proposal calls for withdrawing Spain’s ambassador in Tel Aviv and treating several measures as executive actions that could be executed immediately.
  • Sumar urges declaring Benjamin Netanyahu and ministers Israel Katz, Itamar Ben Gvir, and Bezalel Smotrich persona non grata with entry bans to Spain.
  • The plan demands urgent passage of the arms‑embargo bill already admitted in Congress or, failing that, approval via a royal decree law.
  • It seeks Spain’s accession to the Hague Group declaration and stronger inspections to block the use of Spanish ports and airports for arms bound to or from Israel.
  • The package includes excluding companies linked to Israel’s military industry from the public procurement registry (ROLECE) and the Special Export Operators Registry, with formal submission to Moncloa expected within hours.
