Israel accuses Spain and Belgium of ”supporting terrorism”

The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, opened a diplomatic crisis this Friday with Spain and Belgium, accusing the European heads of government of “supporting terrorism” for having criticized the disproportionate military action in Gaza against the Palestinian population.

Pedro Sánchez, head of government of Spain, and Alexander de Croo, prime minister of Belgium, made a visit to Tel Aviv and Ramallah this week, meeting with Netanyahu and the Palestinian president, Mahmud Abbas.

They told Netanyahu that the European Union (EU) cannot accept the killing of civilians, children, women and the elderly in Gaza, due to the massive bombings by the Zionist state's aircraft.

Netanyahu showed them a video that Hamas allegedly shot during the terrorist attack on Jewish territory, but both European leaders insisted that Israel's military response was clearly unacceptable, given the thousands of civilians who have lost their lives.

After meeting with Abbas, Sánchez and De Croo traveled to Rafah to visit the crossing point to southern Gaza. There, the two Europeans stated that, if Israel has the right to defend itself, "it has to follow international laws and international humanitarian laws in its response.

When the two Europeans finished their visit, Netanyahu summoned the Spanish and Belgian ambassadors to reproach them for the terms used by Sánchez and De Croo on behalf of the EU. The unrest is deep between Tel Aviv, Madrid and Brussels.

T he Spanish government has made it known on two occasions that there are “terrorist aspects” in the military response of the Zionist state to the Hamas attack on October 7, and has also indicated that it is studying the unilateral recognition of the state of Palestine.

Spain has never had good relations with Israel. In the course of its history it is remembered that in 1942 it expelled the Jews by order of the “Catholic kings”, Isabel of Aragon and Ferdinand of Castile.

The expulsion was issued to prevent them from continuing to influence the new Christians so that they would Judaize. The decision to ban Judaism was related to the establishment of the Inquisition fourteen years earlier in the Crown of Castile and nine in the Crown of Aragon.

The Spanish people have always felt very united to the Arabs, after several centuries of Muslim presence in Spain; a time that is considered the “era of the renaissance of culture, astronomy and medicine” of the Arab world. The “Treatise of Medicine” written by Averroes in 1179 is considered a masterpiece of universal scope.

                         لماذا نحن هنا؟ Information is an important element in the world we live in. Fake news leads us to believe the opposite of reality. In a Middle Eastern region where the bloody war in Gaza continues, it is important to report the truth; the genocide and Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as the situation in Syria. This is what we do at ARABINFOCUS. We have therefore humbly asked for donations from members of the HH Arab Royal Houses; from His Highnesses Emirs and from important Muslim personalities who have the financial means to make a donation. We have asked them for a simple donation. Only one anonymous Saudi helped us. All the others have ignored us and have not given us even  a dinar.  Why this ignorance against ARABINFOCUS? Our fight against Jewish Zionism deserved help. But a HH Crown Prince; HH sheikhs; HH emirs;  Prime ministers; all have scorned us, instea...

          IS FOOTBALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ARABIC CULTURE? Qatar and Saudi Arabia have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring top-class soccer players in Europe to elevate and give greater prestige to their national championships in this sport. Football is a global distraction and, therefore, there is nothing to criticize about these operations. It is absolutely normal and correct that the two Arab countries have made that expense. But this situation moves us to ask some questions: 1.- Soccer is more important than the values of the culture of the Arab Nation. ? 2.-Is Soccer more important than reporting and condemning Israel's criminal aggressions against the Palestinian people? 3.-Is Soccer more important than defending Islam and its values and teachings, when it is being subjected to unfair attacks from some Western countries? 4.- Is Soccer more important than explaining and defending the values of the holy book of the Quran, subject of attacks, de...

                ONE HUNDRED KILLED IN THE ATTACK ON A SCHOOL IN GAZA Genocide and war crimes continue in Gaza, although Prime Minister Netanyahu says he is willing to resume peace negotiations. In the attack on a school this Friday, 100 Palestinians died, some of whom are women and children. Israel justified the missile attack, stating that the school served as a refuge for Hamas militants, but has not presented the slightest evidence to justify the version of the Jewish armed forces. It's the same old story. Every time Israel attacks a school, a hospital or a refugee camp, it justifies it by claiming that those places were used by the military branch of Hamas. But don't look for proof because there isn't any. The school attacked with missiles was Al-Tabin, in the Daraj area, in the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The school was completely destroyed. Meanwhile, the Palestinian and Lebanese populations continue to wait for the announced attack ...
