MADRID, March 11 (Reuters) - Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador to Israel on Tuesday as a ​diplomatic standoff worsened between the two countries ‌over Spain's opposition to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran.

The ambassador was summoned back to Spain last September amid a diplomatic ​row over Spanish measures banning aircraft and ships ​carrying weapons to Israel from its ports ⁠or airspace due to Israel's military offensive in ​Gaza, which Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar denounced ​as antisemitic.

On Tuesday, Spain published an announcement in its official gazette that the ambassador's position had been terminated. Spain's Foreign ​Ministry said its embassy in Tel Aviv ​will be led by a charge d'affaires for the foreseeable ‌future.
The ⁠move marks the latest escalation in diplomatic relations between the two countries, which have been heavily strained since Israel launched its assault on the Gaza ​Strip in ​October of ⁠2023.

Israel's embassy in Spain is also run by a charge d'affaires after the ​country summoned its ambassador last May ​in protest ⁠at Spain's decision to recognise a Palestinian state.
Tensions have heightened since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, ⁠with ​Sa'ar accusing Spain in early March ​of "standing with tyrants" for opposing the war.

Good one from Spain. History will forever be kind to them for standing against oppression.

In as much as am not too happy with Nigerian government and Tinubu, wetin them do for this matter again? 😂😳

I said in another thread that the label"terrorists" has been bastardised and easily misapplied.

If Iran was in the wrong, these other countries wouldn't fold their hands, they would have supported the invasion.

Sadly we live in a world where might is right, and unfortunately populated by spineless hypocrites.

Bravissimo.

Those western countries are now wise, they don't want to get involved in any senseless war because they know who is the evil between Iran/US and Israel.

God bless Espana 🇪🇸

Good move on then part of Spain 🇪🇸.

Great.

They can now enter the Straits of Hormuz freely.

Iran is now doing sanction on IsraHell

What's wrong with Spain by the way !?

This woke mentality across Europe and America (thank God for DT), will be their greatest undoing in generations to come..

Lately, we've started hearing "alahu akbar" in the UK, Spain, Belgium, etc. Homosexuality, transgender (again, thanks to DT for reducing/suppressing this madness in the US) and misandry loudly in Europe especially, all thanks to their wokeism..

Terrorists sympathizers everywhere...

Best way to go to a country that want peace for its people.

I don't understand how spain has such integrity; like, where does it come from

Tru, tru, Iran is winning the war

Yet you used Nigerian passport to get out of Nigeria, meaning it is not entirely use - less

How will Spain get its weapons for defense?

Never!

Until these janjawid mullahs bomb soccer out of their lives and economy, only then will they wake up

Ungrateful Europeans that cannot defend themselves

Spanish golden age began on the same year they expelled all Jews from their land.

Spain has a very bad opinion of Jews giving that Jews sided with the Moors to invade and occupy Spain for 700ys.

The gates of Toledo were opened to Muslim army by Jewish traitors.

Spain remains the most anti semitic nation on earth and for very good reason based on all what Jews did to them.

They should do the same to US if dem born dem well

This is just the begining.

You wey dey beg America to come help you do independence

Never!

Spain is a great nation with a very proud and distinguished history.

They have passed wars and are a civilized people.

Long overdue!

Nigeria should do same!

It is funny how some of these European countries think or act.
Do they expect Israel to fold its hands or treat Hamas with kids gloves after the gruesome massacre of Oct 7?
He who feels it knows it.
