Spain has officially withdrawn its ambassador from Israel, marking one of the strongest diplomatic protests yet over the ongoing war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The move significantly downgrades relations between the two countries and signals Madrid’s growing frustration with Israel’s military campaign. While embassies remain open, recalling an ambassador is a major diplomatic step often used to show serious political condemnation without fully cutting ties.
Spain’s government says the decision reflects its demand for an immediate ceasefire and greater protection for civilians, as tensions between Israel and several European governments continue to escalate.
