Speaking at an informal European Union summit in Southern Cyprus, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez urged the bloc to suspend its Association Agreement with Israel. He criticized Europe’s “double standards” regarding the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, warning that this disparity severely undermines the EU’s international legitimacy. Sanchez also highlighted the massive economic toll of the escalating Middle Eastern crisis, noting it currently costs Europe €500 million daily in surging fossil fuel prices. Furthermore, the Prime Minister quickly dismissed reports of a leaked Pentagon email suggesting the US might suspend Spain’s NATO membership over its lack of support for American military operations against Iran, emphasizing that Madrid only engages with official government directives.
