Spain will ask the European Union to end its association agreement with Israel over alleged violations of international law, says Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
“On Tuesday, Spain’s government will present a proposal to the EU that the European Union break off its association agreement with Israel,” which has been in place since June 2000, Sanchez tells a political rally in Andalusia.
The Spanish PM, who has sharply ramped up his criticism of Israel over the past year, alleges that Israel “violates international law” and therefore “cannot be a partner of the European Union… it’s as simple as that.” (AFP)
