"At the proposal of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the European Union and Cooperation, and following deliberation by the Council of Ministers at its meeting on 10 March 2026, I hereby order the termination of Ms Ana Maria Salomon Perez's appointment as Ambassador of Spain to the State of Israel."
"Spain's embassy in Tel Aviv will be led by a charge d'affaires, a source at the Foreign Ministry said, according to Reuters news agency. The country's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is one of the few left-wing leaders in Europe to condemn the US-Israel attack on Iran as unjustifiable and said that Madrid's position was no to the war."
"In October, Spain's parliament approved the enshrinement in law of a total arms embargo on Israel, permanently banning the sale of weapons, dual-use technology and military equipment in response to the genocide."
Spain has recalled its ambassador to Israel, Ms Ana Maria Salomon Perez, effective March 10, 2026, following a Council of Ministers decision. The Spanish embassy in Tel Aviv will be managed by a charge d'affaires instead. This action reflects Spain's strong opposition to Israel's military campaign in Gaza and the US-Israel attack on Iran. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has publicly condemned the Iran attack as unjustifiable and stated Madrid's position opposes war. Spain has consistently criticized Israeli actions and previously approved parliamentary legislation establishing a permanent arms embargo on Israel, prohibiting weapons sales, dual-use technology, and military equipment transfers in response to the Gaza conflict.
