Spain permanently withdraws its ambassador to Israel as diplomatic relations deteriorate over Madrid’s opposition to US-Israeli strikes on Iran and its decision to recognise a Palestinian state earlier

Madrid: Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador to Israel on Tuesday as a diplomatic standoff worsened between ⁠the two countries over Spain's opposition to the ⁠US-Israeli attacks on Iran.

The ambassador ‌was summoned back to Spain last September amid a diplomatic row over Spanish measures banning aircraft and ships carrying weapons to Israel from its ports or ⁠airspace due to Israel's military offensive in Gaza, which Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar denounced as antisemitic.
