The Second Vice President of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has responded to the criticisms directed at Spain by the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, reiterating her accusation that he is a "genocidal" and stressing that "hostility" should be directed towards him.
In a message published on her Bluesky social network profile, Díaz has reacted to a video by Netanyahu himself about the veto against Spain in the group responsible for supervising the ceasefire in Gaza, and has written: "All hostility against war criminals and genocidaires, yes."
This exchange occurs after the Government of Israel announced this Friday that it leaves Spain out of the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC), the multinational body that controls compliance with the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip derived from the agreement sealed in October 2025 to implement the United States' proposal on this territory.
The Israeli authorities justify the expulsion from Spain for what they describe as an "anti-Israeli obsession" of Pedro Sánchez's Executive. In this context, Netanyahu has accused the Prime Minister of "defaming" his "heroes".
"The State of Israel will not remain silent in the face of those who attack us. Spain has defamed our heroes, the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, the soldiers of the most moral army in the world. And that is why I have ordered the expulsion of Spain's representatives from the coordination center in Kiryat Gat, after Spain has chosen time and again to position itself against Israel," the Israeli prime minister declared.
Furthermore, Netanyahu has reproached Spain for waging "a diplomatic war" and for aligning itself with "terrorist regimes", arguments with which he justifies his decision to exclude the Spanish Government from any framework of international cooperation in which Israel participates.
