Spain's Prime Minister on the Wrong Side of History

by Robert Williams  •  October 14, 2025 at 5:00 am

  • Before the extraordinary success of "Phase One" of US President Donald J. Trump's peace plan yesterday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed his regret recently that Spain, due to its lack of nuclear weapons, could not end the war in Gaza – meaning nuke Israel.

  • "Spain is the only democratic country where it is the government that fuels violent protests." -- Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Spanish opposition leader, September 15, 2025.

  • What of Qatar, which sponsors Al Qaeda? Spain and Qatar enjoy excellent relations, and entered into a strategic partnership in 2022 to deepen their economic and political ties. The country that most likely helped finance the biggest terrorist attack on Spanish soil is respected and rewarded by Spain, while Israel, which is fighting that very same terrorism, is denigrated and its citizens hounded.

  • Already, Spain has prohibited any trade in military equipment with Israel, banned the use of Spanish ports and airspace to transport fuel or weapons to the Israeli military, and is introducing an additional 9 measures against Israel, while throwing many more millions of euros after the terrorist UNRWA.

  • At the end of the day, other than his hatred of Jews, Sánchez is doing what all corrupt leaders have always done: blaming the Jews to deflect attention from his own problems. Sánchez finds himself in the midst of several corruption scandals and is struggling to stay in power amidst demands for him to be held accountable and resign.

  • Perhaps it is time for Sánchez and those who voted for him to reconsider.
