Madrid finds itself accused of 'diplomatic warfare' by Netanyahu for recognizing Palestine and closing airspace
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
Madrid finds itself directly in Netanyahu's sights. The Local Spain reports the Israeli Prime Minister accuses Spain of waging 'diplomatic warfare' against Israel — an accusation that transforms a European ally into a target. Spain, which has recognized Palestinian statehood and closed its airspace to American planes, pays the price of diplomatic autonomy. Spanish framing is that of a country assuming its positions but not measuring all consequences: being accused of diplomatic warfare by Israel isolates Madrid in a Europe that prefers muted criticism to open confrontation.
