Spain removes ambassador from Israel
The Spanish government has recalled Spain’s ambassador from Israel. The decision comes as Israel continues to smear the Sanchez government for opposing its genocide in Gaza and its wars of aggression on Iran and Lebanon.
Announcing the order, Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez said:
At the proposal of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the European Union and Cooperation, and following deliberation by the Council of Ministers at its meeting on 10 March 2026, I hereby order the termination of Ms Ana María Sálomon Pérez’s appointment as Ambassador of Spain to the State of Israel.
Spanish citizens in Israel needing assistance will be directed to a “chargé d’affaires” who will remain at the embassy.

That’s a clear step up from ‘withdrawal for consultations’; rather implies something permanent. I’m impressed with Spain’s forthright handling of the genocidaires and warmongers.
Spanish citizens can go to any EU country’s consulate for assistance. The real test of resolve would be if they declared the Israeli ambassador persons non grata, which would incur American retorsion.
Go Spain. Happy I’m spending my holiday there this year.
