Spain has criticized the EU for its inaction regarding a potential breach of human rights by Israel in Gaza. Despite an EU report indicating possible violations, the bloc is unlikely to suspend its trade agreement with Israel. This decision comes after a period of heightened tensions with Iran, seemingly leading the EU to soften its stance towards Israel. Spain argues that this represents a double standard, implying that the EU is applying different criteria to Israel compared to other nations facing similar allegations.
