This episode explores Spain’s long-standing solidarity with Palestine and how it shapes its strained relationship with Israel. We look at the deep-rooted public sympathy across political lines, protests affecting national events like the Vuelta a España, and Spain’s historical ties to the Arab world dating back to Franco’s era. The discussion also covers recent diplomatic tensions fueled by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s critical stance toward Israel’s actions in Gaza.
