Annoyed by the arrogance of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his war crimes, Spanish people are insulting Netanyahu in streets in a unique style to express their resentment against Israeli premier.
Spain has opened opposed the US-Israeli attacks on Iran, terming them illegal, illogical, and devastating for the global system.
Netanyahu has insulted the Prime Minister of Spain and the people for their support to Iran. Consequently, scores of the Spaniards are degrading Netanyahu on the streets to condemn Israeli war policies and genocide.
Earlier, Pedro Sánchez strongly criticized recent military strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, warning that the attacks could intensify regional instability and undermine the global order. Spain has increasingly positioned itself as one of Europe’s most outspoken critics of US foreign policy, Israel’s war in Gaza, and Iran’s handling of anti-government protests.
The Spanish prime minister openly condemned the strikes on Saturday, stating that unilateral military action risked escalating tensions across the Middle East. Madrid’s response stood out among European governments, many of which called for restraint and civilian protection without directly rebuking Washington or Tel Aviv.
European Leaders Express Concern Over Escalation
According to reports, the strikes targeted multiple sites across Iran, including a facility in central Tehran believed to be linked to the residence of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. The attacks triggered widespread concern among European officials about the potential for a broader regional conflict.
In a joint declaration, Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa described the situation as deeply concerning. They urged all parties to avoid further escalation and to protect the global non-proliferation framework.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron characterized the strikes as an “outbreak of war” with potentially serious consequences for international peace and security. He also announced that France would push for an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council to address the crisis.
Spain Calls for De-Escalation While Criticizing Multiple Actors
Sánchez intensified his criticism by calling for immediate de-escalation and full respect for international law from all sides. At the same time, he condemned the Iranian government and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps over its domestic crackdown on protesters.
His remarks reflect a broader shift in Spain’s foreign policy, as Madrid seeks to assert a more independent diplomatic voice within Europe. Spain previously rejected an invitation from the administration of Donald Trump to join the proposed “Board of Peace” initiative focused on rebuilding Gaza, citing concerns about alignment with international law and multilateral diplomacy.
Sánchez has repeatedly described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as a genocide and has also supported stronger international measures against the IRGC, including calls to formally designate the group as a terrorist organization.
