The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Spanish chargé d'affaires, Francisca Pedrós, on Monday to deliver a formal reprimand. The diplomatic action follows comments made last Thursday by Spain's Minister of Youth, Sira Rego, regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The summons highlights rising diplomatic tensions between Israel and Spain over the rhetoric used by Spanish government officials concerning the situation in the Palestinian territories. The Israeli government has characterized the minister's recent statements as problematic, leading to this official protest through the Spanish embassy representative.
