Netanyahu accuses Spain of “hostility”, excludes it from Gaza truce centre

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Spain of “hostility” towards Israel following Madrid’s exclusion from the Civil-Military Coordination Centre, The Guardian reports.

The development follows an announcement by Israel’s foreign ministry confirming Spain’s removal from the coordination body linked to the Gaza truce framework.

In a video message posted today, Netanyahu said:

“Israel will not remain silent in the face of those who attack us.

Spain has defamed our heroes, the soldiers of the IDF, the soldiers of the moral army in the world.

Therefore, I have instructed the removal of the Spanish representatives from the coordination center in Kiryat Gat, after Spain has repeatedly chosen to stand against Israel.

Whoever attacks the State of Israel instead of the terrorist regimes, whoever does this, will not be our partner in the future of the region.

I am not willing to tolerate this hypocrisy and this hostility. I do not intend to allow any country to wage a diplomatic war against us without paying an immediate price for it.”
