Spain pushes for Israel sanctions

The move marks a significant escalation in diplomatic pressure from Madrid, which has become one of Israel's most vocal critics in Europe.

Sanchez is expected to propose the measure at a meeting of EU foreign ministers this Tuesday.

The Prime Minister is also leveraging this stance to coalesce global left-wing leaders against what he calls right-wing authoritarianism.

This push for sanctions comes as other European allies, like Italy, have also begun distancing themselves from the Israeli government's military strategy.
