European Union and Israel relations took a nosedive before the diplomatic recognition of a Palestinian state by Ireland and Spain.
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, Jose Manuel Albares shakes hands with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa during their meeting at the the Permanent Representation of Spain to the European Union in Brussels, on May 26, 2024.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz told Spain that its consulate in Jerusalem will not be allowed to help Palestinians. “The prosecutor of the court has been strongly intimidated and accused of antisemitism," Borrell said. “The word antisemitic, it's too heavy. It's too important.” “No one will force us to convert our religion or threaten our existence — those who harm us, we will harm in return,” said Katz.
