Spain pushes EU to end its Israel association in 48 hours

At a campaign rally, Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said he will present to the European Union a proposal to end the EU's Association Agreement with Israel within 48 hours, arguing that Israel's government violates international law and EU values. The move has backing from some EU members but faces opposition from others and would carry major political and economic consequences given the EU's roughly €45 billion-a-year trade relationship with Israel. The effort follows prior calls to suspend the agreement and a citizens’ initiative urging action, though Brussels’ path remains uncertain.
