The EU formally began reviewing its association agreement with Israel after Spain and 16 other countries pushed for action against the "unacceptable" situation in Gaza, continuing yesterday's diplomatic escalation. This development was quickly overshadowed by two violent incidents: the assassination of Andriy Portnov, a pro-Russian Ukrainian advisor to former president Yanukovich, shot while dropping his children at Madrid's American School; and Israeli forces firing at a diplomatic delegation in the West Bank that included Spanish representatives.

Spain summoned Israel's diplomatic representative following what Foreign Affairs called a "very serious incident." By evening, Netanyahu defiantly announced Gaza operations "will not cease" until implementing "Trump's plan" for the region, despite growing international pressure and reported internal Israeli opposition to the war.

Domestically, parliamentary tensions continued between Sánchez and Feijóo, with accusations over corruption and Gaza policy dominating their exchange.
