19.05.2025Day Trump Claimed Peace as Israel Ordered Mass Evacuation
Early morning coverage focused on Portugal's election results, confirming Montenegro's conservative victory and the far-right Chega party's surge to potentially tie with socialists. By mid-morning, Brussels revised Spain's economic growth forecast upward to 2.6% despite trade tensions.

The day's most significant development came as Israel ordered Palestinian evacuations from Khan Younis before an "unprecedented" attack, with Netanyahu declaring intentions to "take all of Gaza." This prompted Prime Minister Sánchez to call for Israel's Eurovision expulsion, comparing the situation to Russia's previous exclusion from international events.

By evening, Trump dominated headlines with his announcement of "immediate" ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine after speaking with both Putin and Zelensky. However, Spanish media quickly reported contradictory information, with El Mundo and El Español asserting Putin had rejected the ceasefire proposal, continuing the pattern of failed peace initiatives seen in previous days.
