Did Spain's PM Sanchez just say that he would nuke Israel if he had nukes?
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez sparked outrage after declaring: "Spain, as you know, does not have nuclear bombs... We alone cannot stop the Israeli offensive. But that doesn't mean that we are going to stop trying."
Critics saw the remark as more than rhetorical frustration. To many, it sounded like a disturbing suggestion that, if Spain possessed such weapons, it might have used them against Israel. For a European leader to speak this way about the Middle East’s only democracy reflects a deeply troubling moral collapse within Sánchez’s government.
This posture did not emerge by chance. Sánchez remains in power through a fragile coalition that depends heavily on the far-left Podemos movement, a party rooted in radical activism and long associated with extreme anti-Israel and anti-Western positions.
