08.09.2025The day Spain announced Israel arms embargo
The day began with Spain celebrating Carlos Alcaraz's US Open victory and his return to world number one, a carry-over from the previous night's anticipation. However, the editorial focus quickly shifted mid-morning as President Sánchez announced an urgent law and decree for an arms embargo on Israel, alongside nine measures targeting the "genocide" in Gaza and potential sanctions on the Netanyahu government. This policy escalation immediately plunged Spain's relationship with Israel to its lowest point, with Israel responding by labeling Sánchez "antisemitic" and sanctioning Spanish officials. Concurrently, domestic political analyses noted the far-right Vox's continued surge at the expense of the Popular Party, while judicial tensions persisted regarding the Attorney General and the Koldo case. Later in the day, a significant international event unfolded as the French government fell after Bayrou lost a no-confidence vote.
