'Israel' bars Spanish deputy Prime Minister from entering country

Tensions between 'Israel' and Spain deepened on Monday after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez unveiled a package of nine measures aimed at halting what he described as “the genocide in Gaza.”

In response, 'Israeli' Foreign Minister Gideon Saar accused Madrid of fueling "anti-Semitism" and vowed to block Spain’s deputy Prime Minister and Labor Minister, Yolanda Diaz, from entering 'Israel'.

“The attempt by Sanchez's corrupt administration to divert attention from serious corruption scandals through a continuous anti-Israel and antisemitic campaign is transparent,” Saar posted on X.

ממשלת ספרד מובילה קו אנטי ישראלי עויין, ברטוריקה פרועה ונוטפת שינאה.
הניסיון של מימשל סאנשז המושחת להסיח את הדעת מפרשיות שחיתות חמורות באמצעות התקפה אנטי-ישראלית ואנטישמית רצופה
הוא שקוף.
הפעלתנות האובססיבית של ממשלת ספרד הנוכחית נגד ישראל בולטת על רקע קשריה עם ממשלים…

Speaking at a press conference in Budapest alongside Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, Saar said 'Israel' was drawing a clear line. “Today we put a red line here, demonstrating we will not take it from them anymore,” he declared.

He singled out both Spain and France, criticizing their calls for a Palestinian state. “If they are so enthusiastic to establish a Palestinian state, they have huge territories… they can do that in their own territory,” he said.

Relations between 'Israel' and France have already soured in recent months, particularly after French President Emmanuel Macron co-chaired a conference with Saudi Arabia in July, urging a two-state solution. Saar insisted that 'Israel' would never accept borders that threatened its security. “We will not risk our security by having indefensible borders. We will not repeat the mistakes of the past,” he added.
