Israel is recalling the country's top envoy to Spain after Pedro Sanchez questioned the legality of the Jewish state’s military campaign in Gaza.
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said the remarks by the Spanish Prime Minister were "outrageous”.
In an interview on Thursday on Spanish public television, Sanchez said the world had to tell Israel "it needs to base its actions on international humanitarian law, and with the images we are seeing and the growing number of people dying, especially boys and girls, I have serious doubts".
Cohen wrote on X/Twitter on Thursday: “Because of the outrageous remarks by the Spanish prime minister, who again repeated baseless claims, I have decided to summon the Israeli ambassador in Spain for consultations in Jerusalem.
