Spain formally recalls its ambassador to Israel

The Spanish government has formally recalled its ambassador to Israel, Ana Salomon, who had been in office since 2021 and had already been called back for consultations in September 2025, following diplomatic tensions with Benjamin Netanyahu’s government after the recognition of the State of Palestine in April two years ago. The measure was published in the Official State Gazette and was adopted on the proposal of Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares, with the approval of yesterday’s Council of Ministers.
